}Explanation
Calculation basis: the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.
Couscous uses a recorded reference of 180 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: Bob's Red Mill Golden Couscous nutrition facts (1/3 cup = 60g, derived)
Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Particle size, aeration, settling, and whether the cup is scooped or spoon-filled can materially change the mass held by the same volume.

Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this use a US cup?
Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.
Does grain shape or settling change the result for Couscous?
Couscous keeps one reference basis here, but grain shape and how the grains settle in the cup can shift practical density. That is why volume estimates for this ingredient should stay ingredient-specific.
