Convert Cups to Grams: Ground Paprika
Convert cups of ground paprika to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of ground paprika = 115g (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 paprika density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Paprika: 1 teaspoon = 2.4g. Sweet, smoked, and hot paprika all weigh the same per teaspoon. Paprika loses its vibrant red color quickly — buy in small quantities and store away from light and heat.
About Ground Paprika Density
The density of ground paprika determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.479g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of ground paprika weighs 115g 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.
