Just about everyone loves the sweet taste of ripe strawberries. But, sometimes recipes have been devised that require just the right amount of just the right form of strawberries. It can be confusion trying to juggle numbers and equations in one’s head while juggling berries, measuring cups, and other kitchen implements with one’s hands.

To simplify the process of cooking with strawberries, we are going to break it down for you. You can even print this post out and stick it with your favorite recipes that call for strawberries if you’d like. Here is what you need to know when measuring strawberries, doing strawberry conversions, or working out strawberry equivalents for your culinary creations:
