How Much Is 3.7 Cups of Pumpkin Puree in Ounces?
3.7 cups of pumpkin puree weighs 31.98 oz. This is based on pumpkin puree having a density of 245g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 3.7 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.7 cups of pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree = 245g
- 3.7 × 245 = 906.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 906.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 31.98 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

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 an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
