Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.28 ounces of raisins
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.28 × 28.35 = 36.29g
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 36.29g ÷ 145g/cup = 0.25 cups × 16 = 4.00 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.
