Convert Cups to Grams: Breadcrumbs (Dry)
Convert cups of breadcrumbs (dry) to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of breadcrumbs (dry) = 108g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because breadcrumbs (dry) density can vary by measuring technique.
Breadcrumbs (Dry) Cups to Grams Table
| Cups | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 13.5g |
| 1/4 cup | 27g |
| 1/3 cup | 36g |
| 1/2 cup | 54g |
| 2/3 cup | 72g |
| 3/4 cup | 81g |
| 1 cup | 108g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 135g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 162g |
| 2 cups | 216g |
| 3 cups | 324g |
| 4 cups | 432g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Dry breadcrumbs: 1 cup = 108g. Fine breadcrumbs are denser than coarse. Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) are lighter: ~50g/cup. Fresh breadcrumbs are much heavier: ~90g per 2 cups. Used for coating, casseroles.
About Breadcrumbs (Dry) Density
The density of breadcrumbs (dry) determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.45g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of breadcrumbs (dry) weighs 108g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
