Grams to Cups: Dried Cranberries
If your recipe is written in cups but your scale reads grams — or the other way round — this page solves the conversion for dried cranberries. One cup of dried cranberries weighs about 120 grams, which works out to a density of 0.51 g/ml. From there, half a cup is roughly 60 g, a quarter cup about 30 g, and one tablespoon about 8 g.
Converting between weight and volume depends on density, and density is specific to each ingredient: a cup of dried cranberries does not weigh the same as a cup of flour or sugar. That is why this tool uses the measured density of dried cranberries, taken from the USDA FoodData Central database, rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
