}Explanation
This page measures dry quinoa before cooking. Cooked quinoa contains absorbed water and has a different mass per cup, while fluid ounces measure volume rather than the weight ounces used here.
Multiply US cups of dry quinoa by 6.24 ounces per cup. Level the cup without compressing the grains for the closest practical match.
Quinoa uses a recorded reference of 177 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart (Quinoa, whole: 1 cup = 177g)
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.
Reference & Scope
The stated basis corresponds to approximately 177 grams, or 6.24 ounces, per US cup of dry quinoa.
