Explanation

Calculation basis: the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.

Pearl Barley uses a recorded reference of 213 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart (Barley, pearled: 1 cup = 213g)

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 Pearl Barley?

Pearl Barley 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.
