½ cup of breadcrumbs = 54 grams · 1.9 oz · 8 tbsp

How ½ cup of breadcrumbs works out
One US cup of breadcrumbs weighs 108 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 108 × 0.5 = 54 g. In the other direction, 54 g of breadcrumbs divided by 108 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of breadcrumbs (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 57.1 g.
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.
