Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 160g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 0.31 cups of onions (diced)
  2. 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
  3. 0.31 × 160 = 49.6g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

The weight of diced produce per cup depends on how finely it is cut. Smaller dice packs more tightly and weighs more per cup than large chunks.

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?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 49.60 g, based on onions (diced) having a density of 160g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 160 (grams per cup for onions (diced)). For 0.31 cups: 0.31 × 160 = 49.60 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh onions (diced) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 49.60 g ÷ 160 = 0.31 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
