¼ cup of breadcrumbs = 27 grams · 0.95 oz · 4 tbsp
That is a quarter cup, spooned in loosely and levelled, since pressing it down can add half as much again. A full US cup of breadcrumbs weighs 108 g, so ¼ cup comes to 27 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 108 g per US cup (236.6 ml), spooned in loosely and levelled. Last reviewed .
How ¼ cup of breadcrumbs works out
One US cup of breadcrumbs weighs 108 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 108 × 0.25 = 27 g. In the other direction, 27 g of breadcrumbs divided by 108 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of breadcrumbs (12 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 28.5 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.
