How do I convert cups to US cups for any recipe?

Switching between metric cups and US cups is a fixed volume ratio that applies to any ingredient, since one US cup is 240 ml and one metric cup is 250 ml. The volume converter at the link below covers cups, US cups, millilitres, tablespoons and teaspoons in both directions.

What is the difference between a metric cup and a US cup?

A metric cup holds 250 ml while a US cup holds 240 ml, so a US cup is 4% smaller. For chopped strawberry that gap is small but real, and it adds up across several cups. The guide linked below explains when the difference matters and how to switch between the two so a recipe lands right whichever cup you own.

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.
