How much is 1 US cup of raisins?

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.

  • seedless raisins

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 sultanas in US cups.

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 craisins in US cups.

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 dried apricot halves in US cups.

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 chopped dried apricots in US cups.

Dates are sticky-sweet dried fruit, heavier than raisins (178 g vs 165 g per cup) and chewier. Swap 1:1 by volume in oatmeal cookies and fruit cakes when you want a deeper caramel note, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See dates in US cups.

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 dried figs in US cups.
