Strawberry converter: whole strawberries, cups, grams
A recipe says “1 cup sliced strawberries” but you bought them by the punnet. A medium strawberry is only about 12 g, so the count climbs fast as berry size changes. This converter moves between whole strawberries, sliced cups, grams, and ounces.
A large strawberry weighs more than twice a small one, so “a cup of strawberries” can be around ten big berries or nearly two dozen small ones. Pick the right size below to keep shortcake, jam, and smoothies on target.
How much does a strawberry weigh?

Strawberry varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common strawberry varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Albion | Fresh eating and freezing: firm, sweet, day-neutral; holds shape sliced. |
| Camarosa | All-purpose: the large standard supermarket berry, good fresh or baked. |
| Chandler | Jam and fresh: sweet and aromatic, soft when very ripe. |
| Seascape | Fresh and preserves: balanced day-neutral, sweet-tart and juicy. |
| Honeoye | Jam and freezing: early and tart, keeps colour and flavour cooked. |
| Alpine (Fraises des bois) | Garnish and desserts: tiny and intensely fragrant, eaten whole. |
Which should I pick?
For fresh eating and shortcake, Albion or Seascape are the pick: sweet, firm, and reliably stocked. No Albion? Camarosa, the large standard supermarket berry, works in any recipe. For jam and freezing, Honeoye or Chandler hold their flavour and aroma when cooked. Alpine strawberries are a garnish, intensely fragrant but too tiny to measure by the cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the size of a medium strawberry?
- A medium strawberry weighs about 12 g, which works out to roughly 0.07 cups (0.08 US cups) of chopped flesh. Strawberries come in a range of sizes depending on the season, variety and where they were grown, so weight and cup figures shift accordingly. Use the size selector above to match what you actually have, then read the exact conversion for any amount.
- How much does an average strawberry weigh?
- An average strawberry is the same as a medium one: about 12 g. A small strawberry is lighter at around 7 g and a large one heavier at about 18 g, so the size you actually have changes the total for any recipe that counts strawberries by the piece rather than by weight.
- How much does a large strawberry weigh?
- A large strawberry weighs about 18 g, noticeably more than a medium, or average, one at 12 g or a small one at 7 g. Set the size selector to large to convert cups, grams and ounces for the bigger strawberries you actually have on the counter.
