Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.26 ounces of mashed banana
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.26 × 28.35 = 64.07g
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 64.07g ÷ 225g/cup = 0.28 cups × 16 = 4.56 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ripeness affects density. Riper fruit mashes more smoothly and packs more densely per cup than firmer fruit. Weigh for the most consistent results.
