0.26 pounds of egg yolks equals 0.47 cups. That's 117.93g, and Egg yolks has a density of 253g per cup. Because pounds measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.26 pounds of egg yolks
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.26 × 453.59 = 117.93g
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 117.93g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.47 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
One large egg white weighs approximately 30g and one large egg yolk weighs approximately 17g. Weighing separated eggs is more reliable than counting, since individual eggs vary in size.
