Start with 1 ounce of raisins
Convert ounces to grams: 1 × 28.35 = 28.35g
1 cup of raisins = 145g
28.35g ÷ 145g/cup = 0.20 cups × 16 = 3.13 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Dried fruit weights vary with moisture content. Freshly opened packages weigh more than fruit that has been exposed to air and dried further.

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 Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
