Digital Kitchen Scale
Essential for cup-to-gram accuracy and repeatable bakes.
Shop scales ↗Also known as fresh strawberries, sliced strawberries.
Fresh strawberries. How you cut them changes the cup weight by more than 60% — sliced, halved, whole, and puréed are four different measurements.
Common single-unit weights for strawberries — useful when a recipe calls out a specific count instead of a volume.
| cups | grams |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cups | 42.0 grams |
| 1/3 cups | 55.0 grams |
| 1/2 cups | 83.0 grams |
| 1 cups | 166 grams |
| 1.50 cups | 249 grams |
| 2 cups | 332 grams |
| 3 cups | 498 grams |
| 4 cups | 664 grams |
Ingredient-specific, density-based conversions for baking
Published values, quoted at the exact measure each source lists. Sources round differently and assume different fill techniques — which is why they rarely agree to the gram.
| Source | Listed measure | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| USDA FoodData Central | 1 cup (sliced) | 166 g |
| USDA FoodData Central | 1 cup (whole) | 144 g |
| King Arthur Baking | 1 cup (fresh sliced) | 167 g |
CupOrGram standardizes on 166 g per cup (10 g per tablespoon, 3.5 g per teaspoon) and uses that single value on every page — how we reconcile the sources.

Refrigerate unwashed up to 5 days. Wash and hull just before use; wet berries break down quickly.
Strawberries are about 91% water and hollow-cored, so a cup measures mostly air gaps between berries. Whole berries leave the largest gaps (144 g per cup); slicing collapses them (166 g); puréeing removes the air entirely (232 g). This page uses sliced as the baseline because that is what most baking recipes mean.
For purees: moisture differences can thin batter unexpectedly.
For dried fruits: hydration level impacts chew and spread.
For fruit swaps: verify sweetness and acidity changes in the final bake.
Baseline reference: 1 cup strawberries = 166g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 154g-178g per cup (7% band).
Why this happens: water content and texture vary by ripeness, processing, and brand.
Figures use the US cup (236.6 ml).1 cup of strawberries weighs 166 grams.
