How to measure dry breadcrumbs

Fine dry breadcrumbs settle densely — fresh breadcrumbs weigh much less per cup.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure dry breadcrumbs is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Dry breadcrumbs conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of dry breadcrumbs weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Dry breadcrumbs is less dense than water (108 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
