According to produce experts and growers, a 5 lb box of fresh blueberries contains approximately 6 to 7 dry pints. The key to this calculation lies in understanding the difference between volume-based dry pints and weight-based pounds, as well as the inherent variability of fresh produce.

According to the U.S. customary system, a liquid pint is equal to 2 cups, but a dry pint—the measure used for berries—is actually a larger volume. So, is a pint of berries a cup? The short answer is no, it's about two cups, though the exact amount can vary based on the berry type and how it's prepared.
