How ¼ cup of paprika works out
One US cup of paprika 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 paprika divided by 108 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of paprika (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: Sweet, smoked and hot paprika are not interchangeable — check which a recipe means, as smoked paprika in particular will dominate a dish.
