SwitchExplanation
This page answers the kitchen question in weight terms: how much 1 US cup of couscous weighs in ounces. It converts cup volume into weight ounces using one ingredient-specific factor instead of a generic chart.
It is measuring mass, not fluid ounces. That is especially useful for batch cooking and portion planning, where grain volume and weight need to stay aligned. The mirror page uses the same ounce-per-cup conversion in reverse so both directions stay aligned.
