Why Does 1 Cup of Dried Cranberries Vary?
The weight of 1 cup depends on how you measure. USDA standard (spooned) = 138g.
Spooned & Leveled
Spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup, then level off with a straight edge. This is the standard method used by USDA FoodData Central.
Reference weightSifted
Sift the ingredient first, then spoon into the cup. Sifting aerates the ingredient, reducing weight by 10-20%.
~10-20% lighterScooped (packed)
Dip the cup directly into the bag and pack. This is the most inaccurate method — can be 20-30% heavier than spooned.
