How Much Is 15.97 Ounces of Onions (Diced) in Cups?
15.97 ounces of onions (diced) equals 2.83 cups. That's 452.74g, and Onions (diced) has a density of 160g per cup. Because ounces measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.97 ounces of onions (diced)
- Convert ounces to grams: 15.97 × 28.35 = 452.74g
- 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
- 452.74g ÷ 160g/cup = 2.83 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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
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.
