Convert Raisins measurements
Raisins Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert raisins from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Raisins go into oatmeal cookies, fruit cakes, granola, bread pudding, and rum raisin ice cream, and recipes flip between cups and grams without notice. One metric cup of raisins weighs about 165 g (5.82 oz), so a 250 g box is roughly 1.5 cups. Convert either way when scaling a recipe up or down.
A packed cup of raisins can weigh 10 to 15 g more than a loose one, depending on how the fruit nests. Weighing in grams keeps cookies, scones, and Christmas cakes consistent batch to batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are raisins and dried grapes the same thing?
- Yes. Dried grapes is another name for raisins, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of raisins weighs 165 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- What is 0.25 cups of raisins in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of raisins is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
- How much does a cup of raisins weigh?
- 1 cup of raisins in grams is 165 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 330 grams and half a cup is 82.5 grams. Weighing raisins by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. The chart above this FAQ lists the cup amounts recipes call for, and the converter at the top handles anything between them.
- How do you measure raisins in cups?
- 100 grams of raisins is 0.61 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 1.21 cups and 50 grams is 0.3 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. The chart above this FAQ covers the other weights cooks measure out.
- How do you measure raisins in tablespoons?
- 50 grams of raisins is 5.05 tablespoons. The ratio is fixed, so 100 grams is 10.1 tablespoons and 25 grams is 2.53 tablespoons. Tablespoons are handy for smaller amounts when you would rather not get out the scales. The chart above this FAQ turns the other common weights into tablespoons too.
Related to Raisins
Dates
Chopped dates swap 1:1 by volume for raisins and bring a stickier, caramel sweetness. They weigh more per cup (178 g vs 165 g), so weigh when the fruit ratio drives a fruit cake or oat slice. See our Dates converter.
Sultanas
Sultanas are the lighter, sweeter cousin of raisins, made from sulfur-treated white grapes. Both weigh 165 g per cup, so swap 1:1 by volume or weight and expect a brighter, honeyed flavour from sultanas. See our Sultanas converter.
Craisins
Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, lighter (120 g vs 165 g per cup) and tart-sweet rather than caramel-sweet. Weigh when swapping and expect a sharper edge in oatmeal cookies and granola. See our Craisins converter.
Dried Apricot Halves
Dried apricot halves are bigger, leathery pieces (135 g per cup) with a mellow fruit flavour. Use the halves converter when a recipe calls for whole halves rather than bite-sized raisins. See our Dried Apricot Halves converter.
Chopped Dried Apricots
Chopped dried apricots are diced into bite-sized pieces, close in weight to raisins (160 g vs 165 g per cup) but milder and tangier in flavour. Swap 1:1 by volume in breakfast bars and granola. See our Chopped Dried Apricots converter.
Dried Figs
Dried figs are a touch lighter than raisins (150 g vs 165 g per cup) with a seedy crunch and a honeyed sweetness. Swap 1:1 by volume in oat slices, granola, and fruit cakes. See our Dried Figs converter.
