Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 705.95 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.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 173 (grams per cup). For 4,308 ounces: 4,308 × 28.3495 = 122,129.75g, then 122,129.75 ÷ 173 = 705.95 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: 705.95 cups × 173g/cup = 122,129.75g, then 122,129.75g ÷ 28.3495 = 4,308 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
