Raisins: Grams to Cups
1 cup of raisins = 165 grams
One US cup of raisins weighs 165 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 174 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
Raisins weigh 165 g per cup packed (USDA FoodData Central) and about 145 g loose. King Arthur Baking gives 149 g loose and 170 g packed. Recipes rarely say, so weighing removes the guesswork.
Where the 165 g figure comes from
- USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup, packed of “Raisins, dark, seedless” = 165 g (FDC ID 168165)
- King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart: Raisins (packed), 1/2 cup = 85 g (about 170 g per cup) (chart)

How to measure raisins accurately
The 165 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the raisins 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.

- ¾ cup = 124 g
