Strawberry math, tips for berry measurements
It is difficult to give specific measurements for berries because the sizes determine how many fit into a pint or a cup. A cup of large berries will contain fewer berries than a cup of smaller berries. You should always measure frozen berries frozen, as thawed ones become soft and pack down. Below is a conversion table with some typical measurements.
1 lb Fresh |
16 oz bag Frozen

Whole | 3 3/4 cups | 3 cups |
Sliced | 3 cups | 2 cups |
Pureed | 2 cups | 1 1/2 cups |
Mashed | 1 3/4 cups |
How to Handle Strawberries
- Strawberries can become faint from overcrowding, so when you get home, spread the berries on a tray giving them enough air.
- Discard any spoiled strawberries.
- Always store in the refrigerator.
-
To maintain freshness, keep the stems and tops on the strawberries.
- Do not rinse strawberries until you are ready to use them.
- Rinse strawberries in cold water very briefly. Drain in a roomy colander and spread them on paper towels to air-dry out of the sun.
