Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 262g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2.01 cups of tomato paste
  2. 1 cup of tomato paste = 262g
  3. 2.01 × 262 = 526.62g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 526.62 ÷ 28.3495 = 18.58 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Ripeness affects density. Riper fruit mashes more smoothly and packs more densely per cup than firmer fruit. Weigh for the most consistent results.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 18.58 oz, based on tomato paste having a density of 262g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 262 (grams per cup for tomato paste), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 2.01 cups: 2.01 × 262 = 526.62g, then 526.62 ÷ 28.3495 = 18.58 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh tomato paste 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: 18.58 oz × 28.3495 = 526.62g, then 526.62g ÷ 262 = 2.01 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
