Converter Calculator
1 Cup = 177 Grams
Explanation
This page uses an exact factor of 177 grams per 1 US cup (236.588 mL) for Quinoa. The factor converts a fixed volume to mass so you can scale recipes and maintain consistent ingredient ratios.
For Quinoa, grain size and milling (fine, medium, or coarse) change how particles pack and how much void space remains. Bulk density shifts with particle size, packing, or moisture, and measuring method (scooped, spooned, packed, or leveled) changes how much mass sits in a cup. The verified factor sticks to the standard level US cup and to sources that match consistent handling, which makes the mass target repeatable.

Weighing removes variability from packing and leveling, so the calculator applies the verified factor and supports repeatable outcomes as quantities change.

How to use this hub
- Choose a converter family.
- If converting to/from grams from a volume unit, select an ingredient.
- For pure unit changes (volume↔volume or weight↔weight), use universal conversions.
If your conversion includes grams, you’ll choose an ingredient; otherwise you won’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this use a US cup?
Yes. The converter uses the standard US cup definition of 236.588 mL.
Is the grams value exact?
It is a practical kitchen factor based on bulk density, so small variation is expected.
Can I use decimal cup values?
Yes. Decimal inputs are supported for scaling recipes.
Why should I weigh instead of measuring by cup?
Weight is more repeatable because it avoids variation from packing and leveling.
