How Much Is 262 Grams of Onions (Diced) in Cups?
262 grams of onions (diced) equals 1.64 cups. Onions (diced) has a density of 160g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 262 grams of onions (diced)
- 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
- 262g ÷ 160g/cup = 1.64 cups

Measuring Tip
Raw and cooked produce have very different weights per cup. Cooked vegetables shrink and become denser. These conversions are for raw produce.

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?
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.
