Grams to Cups: Raisins
If your recipe is written in cups but your scale reads grams — or the other way round — this page solves the conversion for raisins. One cup of raisins weighs about 145 grams, which works out to a density of 0.61 g/ml. From there, half a cup is roughly 73 g, a quarter cup about 36 g, and one tablespoon about 9 g.
Converting between weight and volume depends on density, and density is specific to each ingredient: a cup of raisins does not weigh the same as a cup of flour or sugar. That is why this tool uses the measured density of raisins, taken from the USDA FoodData Central database, rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.

How to measure raisins accurately
For raisins, spoon it into the cup and level it off; do not shake or tap the cup, which settles the contents and changes the weight. Weighing in grams is still the most reliable method when the amount matters.
