  • These figures use the US cup (240 ml). A metric cup is slightly larger at 250 ml, so it holds a little more. Use the metric cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • A teaspoon here is the 5 ml standard, the same in the UK, Europe, and Australia. A US teaspoon is fractionally smaller at about 4.9 ml. When teaspoon size matters →
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Sultanas go into fruit cakes, scones, hot cross buns, and breakfast granola, and recipes flip between cups and grams without notice. One metric cup of sultanas weighs about 165 g (5.82 oz), so a 250 g bag is roughly 1.5 cups. Convert either way when scaling a recipe up or down.

Dried fruit settles in the cup, so a packed cup can weigh 10 to 15 g more than a loose one. Use weight when the fruit ratio drives texture, like a Christmas cake or panettone.

  • golden raisins
  • sultana raisins

Raisins are the darker cousin of sultanas, made from sun-dried grapes rather than the lighter, sulfur-treated sultana grape. Both weigh 165 g per cup, so swap 1:1 by volume or weight and expect a deeper, more robust flavour from raisins. See what 1 US cup of raisins is in teaspoons.

Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, lighter (120 g vs 165 g per cup) and tart-sweet rather than honey-sweet. Weigh when swapping and expect a punchier hit in granola, scones, and oatmeal cookies. See what 1 US cup of craisins is in teaspoons.

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 sultanas. See what 1 US cup of dried apricot halves is in teaspoons.

Chopped dried apricots are diced into bite-sized pieces, close in weight to sultanas (160 g vs 165 g per cup) but milder and tangier in flavour. Swap 1:1 by volume in breakfast bars and granola. See what 1 US cup of chopped dried apricots is in teaspoons.

Dates are sticky-sweet dried fruit, heavier than sultanas (178 g vs 165 g per cup) and chewier. Swap 1:1 by volume in fruit cakes and oat slices when you want a caramel note, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See what 1 US cup of dates is in teaspoons.
