Celery Conversion: Stalks to Chopped US Cups
An approximate guide to the yield of chopped celery (in US cups) from a given number of medium celery stalks (also called ribs).
| Number of Medium Celery Stalks |
Chopped Yield (US Cups) (approx.) |
| 1 medium stalk | ~1/2 cup |
| 2 medium stalks | ~1 cup |
| 3 medium stalks | ~1 1/2 cups |
| 4 medium stalks | ~2 cups |
| 1 average head/bunch of celery (8-10 stalks) | ~4-5 cups |
Important Considerations for Celery Yield:
- These are general estimates. The actual yield can vary based on:
- **Stalk Size:** "Medium" stalks can differ in width and length.
- **Size of Chop:** Finely diced celery will pack more densely into a cup than a rough chop. This chart assumes a standard dice (e.g., 1/4 to 1/2 inch).
- **Trimming:** How much of the base and leafy tops are removed.
- A common rule of thumb is that **1 medium celery stalk yields about 1/2 cup chopped**.
- If a recipe requires a precise amount of celery, it's best if the recipe specifies a weight or a volume of *chopped* celery.
- One cup of chopped celery weighs approximately 100-120 grams (3.5-4.2 ounces).
