How Much Is 160 Ounces of Raisins in Cups?
Converting 160 ounces of raisins to cups gives 31.28 cups. First convert to grams (160 oz = 4,535.92g), then divide by the density of raisins (145g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 160 ounces of raisins
- Convert ounces to grams: 160 × 28.35 = 4,535.92g
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 4,535.92g ÷ 145g/cup = 31.28 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.

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?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
