Divide the gram amount by 149 to calculate US cups. The practical fraction is a measuring aid, not a replacement for the exact gram weight.
| Grams | US cups | Practical reference |
|---|---|---|
| 25 g | 0.17 cups | about 1/8 cup |
| 30 g | 0.20 cups | about 1/4 cup |
| 40 g | 0.27 cups | about 1/4 cup |
| 50 g | 0.34 cups | about 1/3 cup |
| 60 g | 0.40 cups | about 1/3 cup |
| 75 g | 0.50 cups | about 1/2 cup |
| 80 g | 0.54 cups | about 1/2 cup |
| 100 g | 0.67 cups | about 2/3 cup |
| 120 g | 0.81 cups | about 3/4 cup |
| 125 g | 0.84 cups | about 3/4 cup |
| 150 g | 1.01 cups | about 1 cup |
| 200 g | 1.34 cups | about 1 1/3 cups |
| 250 g | 1.68 cups | about 1 2/3 cups |
| 300 g | 2.01 cups | about 2 cups |

Spoon them in loosely and level by eye. Do not press or shake the cup. Dried fruit settles and compacts more readily than most people expect.

| Type | Grams per US cup | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Raisins, loose | 149 g | The reference on this page. |
| Raisins, packed | 198 g | A third heavier, and easy to do accidentally. |
| Golden raisins or sultanas | 149 g | Same weight per cup. |
| Currants | 145 g | Smaller pieces, near identical weight. |
| Dried cranberries | 120 g | Lighter and less dense. |
| Chopped dates | 178 g | Moister and considerably heavier. |
The gap between loose and packed raisins is about 49 grams per cup. In a cookie dough that is roughly a third more fruit than the recipe intended.
Comparison figures are typical published US baking references. Only the raisins, loose value above is part of this site's sourced dataset.
Packing raisins into the cup can add a third again to the weight. The value on this page names the exact product state it applies to, so you can check it against your own ingredient rather than trusting a bare number.
The converter does not assume that every cup weighs 237 or 250 grams. It uses the documented value for the exact ingredient and state selected.
If a product label or recipe publisher supplies a different gram weight for one cup, follow that recipe-specific value for the closest match to the original testing.
