Queso Fresco (crumbled)
Crumbled queso fresco weighs about 130g per cup. A fresh, mild Mexican cheese with a crumbly texture and salty, milky flavor — softer than feta and less tangy. Doesn't melt when heated (it just softens), making it perfect for tostadas, enchiladas, and elote where you want the cheese to keep its shape. Substitute with feta for more bite, or fresh ricotta for milder dishes. Use within 1 week of opening.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
