Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 160g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 310 pounds of onions (diced)
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 310 × 453.59 = 140,613.63g
  3. 1 cup of onions (diced) = 160g
  4. 140,613.63g ÷ 160g/cup = 878.84 cups

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

Measuring Tip

The weight of diced produce per cup depends on how finely it is cut. Smaller dice packs more tightly and weighs more per cup than large chunks.

Understanding the Units

What is a Pound?

A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 878.84 cups, based on onions (diced) having a density of 160g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert pounds to grams (1 pound = 453.592g), then divide by 160 (grams per cup). For 310 pounds: 310 × 453.592 = 140,613.63g, then 140,613.63 ÷ 160 = 878.84 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh onions (diced) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 878.84 cups × 160g/cup = 140,613.63g, then 140,613.63g ÷ 453.592 = 310 pounds. Or use the Cups to Pounds converter.
