How Many Grams in a Cup of Raisins?
1 cup of raisins = 165 grams · 100g = 0.61 cups
Raisins weigh about 165 grams per cup, packing fairly densely because they are sticky and pliable. Plumping them in warm water, tea or rum before baking keeps them from drying out and stealing moisture from the batter. Golden raisins (sultanas) are similar in weight.
Based on a measured density of 165 g per US cup (236.6 ml), spooned and levelled rather than scooped. Last reviewed .

Raisins: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of raisins weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of raisins in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup raisins | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 165 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 174 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 198 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 139 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Quick reference: Raisins in grams
- ⅛ cup raisins = 20.6g
- ¼ cup raisins = 41.2g — a quarter cup of raisins in grams
- ⅓ cup raisins = 54.9g — a third of a cup
- ½ cup raisins = 82.5g — half a cup of raisins in grams
- ⅔ cup raisins = 110g — two thirds of a cup
- ¾ cup raisins = 124g — three quarters of a cup
- 1 cup raisins = 165g — one cup of raisins in grams
- 2 cups raisins = 330g — two cups
Raisins by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of raisins weighs about 10.3g, and one teaspoon about 3.44g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon raisins to grams = 10.3g
- 2 tablespoons raisins = 20.6g
- 3 tablespoons raisins = 30.9g
- 1 teaspoon raisins = 3.44g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of raisins is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 1.38 cups of raisins — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of raisins weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of raisins?
Because one cup of raisins weighs about 165 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 165. So 100g of raisins is about 0.61 cups, 200g is about 1.21 cups, 250g is about 1.52 cups, and 300g is about 1.82 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure raisins accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh raisins on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of raisins weighs about 165 grams (5.82 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts raisins 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: Soak raisins in warm liquid for 10–15 minutes and drain before folding into batter; they stay plump and won't pull moisture from the bake.
