Panko breadcrumbs, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of panko breadcrumbs = 60 grams · 100g = 1.67 cups
Panko are Japanese-style breadcrumbs made from crustless bread, with large, airy flakes that fry up exceptionally crisp and light. That airiness makes them very light — only about 60 grams per cup, far less than ordinary dried crumbs. They absorb less oil, staying crunchier longer.

How to measure panko breadcrumbs accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh panko breadcrumbs on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of panko breadcrumbs weighs about 60 grams (2.12 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts panko 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: Panko's flakes are much lighter than standard breadcrumbs, so don't substitute them by weight — match by volume and expect a crispier, lacier coating.
