How Much Is 1.5 Cups of Egg Yolks in Grams?
1.5 cups of egg yolks weighs 379.50 g. This is based on egg yolks having a density of 253g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.5 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 cups of egg yolks
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 1.5 × 253 = 379.5g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
