Many carrot cake and muffin recipes measure grated carrot in cups, but the gram weight depends on how loosely the carrot is packed. One metric cup (250 ml) of raw grated carrot weighs 110 g (3.88 oz). This converter moves between cups, grams, tablespoons, and more.

Grated carrot can be loosely or firmly packed in a cup, shifting the weight by 20 g or more. Measuring by grams keeps the moisture and texture of your bake consistent.
