How ⅓ cup of breadcrumbs works out
One US cup of breadcrumbs weighs 108 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 108 × 0.333 = 36 g. In the other direction, 36 g of breadcrumbs divided by 108 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of breadcrumbs (16 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 38 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.
