Breadcrumbs: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of breadcrumbs weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of breadcrumbs in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup breadcrumbs | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 108 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 114 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 130 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 91.3 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

So 100g of breadcrumbs is about 0.93 cups, 200g is about 1.85 cups, 250g is about 2.31 cups, and 300g is about 2.78 cups.

How to measure breadcrumbs accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh breadcrumbs on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of breadcrumbs weighs about 108 grams (3.81 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts breadcrumbs and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Note whether a recipe wants dried or fresh breadcrumbs — fresh are far lighter and moister, so the same cup holds much less by weight.
