Is a cup of Blackberries reliable for recipes?

As a working reference, yes. For gram-precision baking, weigh — density irregularities mean cup readings drift 10–15 % between pours.

When should I weigh Blackberries instead of using cups?

Whenever the recipe specifies grams or when flavor and texture hinge on exact amounts. Cups are practical; scales are accurate.
