Packed Raisins: US Cups to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion
Convert volumes of firmly packed raisins measured in US cups to their approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz).

Important Considerations for Packed Raisins:
Raisins are typically measured packed into the cup for baking recipes. The weight of 1 US cup of packed raisins is around **160-170 grams** (approximately 5.6-6 ounces).
If raisins are measured loosely (not packed), they will weigh less per cup. See our chart for loose raisins.
Different types of raisins (e.g., Thompson, Sultanas, Currants which are smaller) may have slightly different densities, but this is a good general guide for common seedless raisins.
For recipes where the fruit-to-batter ratio is important, measuring by weight can provide more consistent results.
