Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 160g/cup ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 1,237 cups of onions (diced)
  2. 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g

  4. Convert grams to pounds: 197,920 ÷ 453.592 = 436.34 lb

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 Pound?

Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
