How Much Is 800 Grams of Onions (Diced) in Cups?
800 grams of onions (diced) equals 5.00 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 800 grams of onions (diced)
- 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
- 800g ÷ 160g/cup = 5 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For consistent results, weigh onions (diced) rather than measuring by volume. A cup of diced produce can vary by 20% depending on dice size.

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.
