How Much Is 491.2 Grams of Onions (Diced) in Cups?
491.2 grams of onions (diced) equals 3.07 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 491.2 grams of onions (diced)
- 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
- 491.2g ÷ 160g/cup = 3.07 cups
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 Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
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.
