So your recipe calls for 150 grams, and you’re thinking… okay, but how many cups is that?
Good question, but it depends on what you’re measuring.
The number of cups equivalent to 150 grams depends on the density of the ingredient.

Converting 150 grams into cups – a practical example
Let’s imagine you’ve got 150 grams of lemon jam and you’re trying to figure out how many cups that would be.
You’d think it’s a quick switch—just weigh it and pour it into a measuring cup, right? Well, not exactly. With jam, things aren’t always so straightforward.
That’s because no two jars of jam are exactly alike. Some are smooth and spreadable, others are thick and textured, packed with zest or citrus chunks. The way your jam flows—or doesn’t—makes a big difference in how much space it actually takes up.
This has everything to do with density. Simply put, density tells us how much something weighs compared to how much room it fills. A jam that’s stiff and rich with lemon peel might weigh more per scoop than one that’s thin and jelly-like.
The texture, water content, sugar level, and size of the fruit pieces all affect how your jam behaves in a cup. One version could sit heavily and firmly on the bottom, while another might slide in easily and take up more space.
Still, we can work with an average for most fruit jams to get a good estimate.
Here’s how to go about it:
1. You’ve got 150 grams of lemon jam.
2. A typical cup of jam weighs around 320 grams.
3. So you divide 150 by 320.
The formula is:
Cups = weight in grams ÷ grams per cup
Which gives us:
150 ÷ 320 = roughly 0.47 cups.
That means 150 grams of lemon jam comes out to just under half a cup—around 0.47 cups, or a little under 8 tablespoons.
Of course, the exact number could shift slightly depending on how thick or runny your jam is, and whether there are big chunks of lemon suspended in it.

150 grams in cups FAQs
If you’re using whole, pitted dates, 150 grams comes to about 1 cup, give or take depending on their size and stickiness. Chopped dates fill out a bit more space, so that same 150 grams would be closer to 1⅓ cups. Softer varieties like Medjool might pack down more than drier ones.
Almond meal or finely ground almonds are light and fluffy. For 150 grams, you’re looking at roughly 1½ cups. If the grind is coarse or packed tightly, it might be a little less—closer to 1⅓ cups. The freshness and oil content can also affect how it settles.
Evaporated milk is thicker than regular milk but still behaves like most liquids in terms of weight. You’ll get just over ½ cup, about 0.63 cups, from 150 grams. It’s best to measure it using a liquid measuring cup for accuracy, especially when baking.
It depends on how the ham is prepared. For small diced or chopped ham, 150 grams is roughly 1 cup. If it’s sliced or shredded, it may be closer to 1¼ cups, since that takes up more space. Lean, dry ham weighs more than fatty or moist cuts.
Rice Krispies are extremely light, so 150 grams fills around 6 cups. The airy texture means a small weight goes a long way in volume. If the cereal has been crushed or compacted, the measurement will shrink quite a bit.
This depends a lot on whether the mozzarella is fresh, shredded, or grated. For shredded mozzarella, 150 grams is about 1½ cups. Fresh mozzarella, because it’s denser and holds more moisture, comes closer to 1¼ cups when diced or pulled into chunks.
If you dice the mango, 150 grams equals roughly 1 cup. Ripe, juicy mango will pack tighter and may slightly reduce the overall volume. Pureed mango would be a little less—closer to ⅔ to ¾ cup—because it loses air pockets when blended.
Pecans vary by form. Whole pecans weigh more per cup, so 150 grams is just under 1½ cups. Chopped pecans, which settle more densely, usually measure out closer to 1¼ cups. Toasted pecans may also weigh slightly less due to moisture loss.
Red lentils are small and fairly dense, so 150 grams is about ¾ cup. They’re pretty uniform in size and weight, but rinsing or soaking before measuring can cause them to puff up and skew the result.
Tapioca starch is soft and fine, similar to cornstarch in texture. For 150 grams, you’ll need about 1¼ cups. It tends to settle when stored, so be sure to stir or fluff it up before measuring for a more accurate volume.
If you’re using white chocolate chips, 150 grams is approximately 1 cup. For chopped white chocolate, it could be a little more—closer to 1⅓ cups, depending on how finely it’s cut. If it’s grated or shredded, expect even more volume due to trapped air.
