Converting 601 cups of couscous to grams gives 103,973.00 g. One cup of couscous weighs 173g, so 601 cups is 601 × 173 = 103,973g. This conversion is specific to couscous because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 601 cups of couscous
- 1 cup of couscous = 173g
- 601 × 173 = 103,973g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
