Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.26 ounces of onions (diced)
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.26 × 28.35 = 64.07g
- 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
- 64.07g ÷ 160g/cup = 0.40 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.
