  3. 150.51g ÷ 173g/cup = 0.87 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

Understanding the Units

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.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.87 cups, based on couscous having a density of 173g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 173 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 150.51 grams: 150.51 ÷ 173 = 0.87 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh couscous 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: 0.87 cups × 173g/cup = 150.51g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
