Broccoli: Grams to Cups
1 cup of broccoli = 91 grams
One US cup of broccoli weighs 91 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 96 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
A cup of chopped raw broccoli weighs 91 g, the figure USDA FoodData Central records for raw broccoli. Cooking collapses it: boiled and drained broccoli weighs 78 g per half cup, so 156 g per cup — about 1.7 times the raw figure. One 5-inch spear is about 31 g.

How to measure broccoli accurately
The 91 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the broccoli into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.
- 1 US cup of broccoli = 91 g
- 1 metric cup (250 ml) of broccoli = 96 g
- ¾ cup = 68 g
- ½ cup = 46 g
- ⅓ cup = 30 g
- ¼ cup = 23 g
- 1 tablespoon = 5.7 g
