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 weight
☁️

Sifted

Sift the ingredient first, then spoon into the cup. Sifting aerates the ingredient, reducing weight by 10-20%.

~10-20% lighter
📦

Scooped (packed)

Dip the cup directly into the bag and pack. This is the most inaccurate method — can be 20-30% heavier than spooned.

~20-30% heavier
