Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 cup of quinoa?

1 US cup of quinoa weighs 170 g, as measured by the USDA (1 cup (uncooked)). A tablespoon weighs 10.6 g.

How do I convert grams of quinoa to cups?

Divide the grams by 170. For example, 100 g of quinoa is 0.59 cups, about 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp.

Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?

No. A US cup is 236.6 ml and a metric cup (Australia, Canada, New Zealand) is 250 ml, so a metric cup of an ingredient weighs about 5–6% more than the US weights here.

Why weigh instead of using cups?

How you fill a cup changes how much goes in: scooped flour packs down, spooned flour stays loose. Weighing gives the same amount every time, which matters most for baking.
