Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.08 cups of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 1.08 × 225 = 243g

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.
