Convert Cups to Grams: Ground Cumin
Convert cups of ground cumin to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of ground cumin = 117g (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 ground cumin density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon = 2.4g. Common in Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern cooking. Toasting whole cumin seeds before grinding intensifies flavor. Store ground cumin up to 3 years.
About Ground Cumin Density
The density of ground cumin determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.488g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of ground cumin weighs 117g 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.
