How to convert 400 grams to cups
Let’s say you want to know how many cups is 400 grams of raspberries.
You might think converting raspberries into cups is no big deal. But as soon as you start measuring, you’ll see – it’s not quite that cut and dry.
That’s because different foods take up space in different ways. The weight of something doesn’t always match the volume it fills in a cup. It all comes down to how compact or bulky the ingredient is.
Each ingredient has a different density – a fancy way of saying how much something weighs compared to how much space it takes up. The denser the item, the more it weighs in a smaller volume.
Liquids are easy – they have consistent density, so converting grams to cups is usually a breeze. But ingredients like raspberries? They’re soft, airy, and irregular in shape, which makes them much less predictable.
It’s also worth noting that not all fruits are the same. Different berries have different densities, so what works for blueberries won’t apply to raspberries, and vice versa.
So when you’re converting 400 grams of raspberries to cups, what you need to ask is: Based on their density, how many cups do 400 grams of raspberries actually fill?
Here’s how to figure it out:
1. Start with your weight: 400 grams.
2. Find the density (how many grams are in one cup of raspberries). For raspberries, it’s usually around 125 grams per cup.
3. Divide 400 by 125 to get the number of cups.
Here’s your formula:
Cups = weight in grams ÷ grams per cup
This is how you calculate it:
400 ÷ 125 = 3.2 cups
So, 400 grams of raspberries come out to about 3 and 1/5 cups.
Just keep in mind that the exact result can vary depending on how tightly you pack the raspberries into the cup and how large or small they are.
