Convert Cups to Grams: Raisins
Convert cups of raisins to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of raisins = 165g (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 raisins density can vary by measuring technique.
Raisins Cups to Grams Table
| Cups | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 20.6g |
| 1/4 cup | 41.3g |
| 1/3 cup | 55g |
| 1/2 cup | 82.5g |
| 2/3 cup | 110g |
| 3/4 cup | 123.8g |
| 1 cup | 165g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 206.3g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 247.5g |
| 2 cups | 330g |
| 3 cups | 495g |
| 4 cups | 660g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Raisins: 1 cup = 165g. Plump, moist raisins weigh more per cup. Dry raisins can be 10-15g lighter. 1 cup raisins = about 5.5 oz. Soak in warm water for 10 minutes to plump if too dry for baking.
About Raisins Density
The density of raisins determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.688g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of raisins weighs 165g 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of raisins?
1 cup of raisins weighs 165 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of raisins?
1/2 cup of raisins weighs 83 grams.
