How to measure raisins

Raisins clump together — press them lightly into the cup and level the top.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure raisins 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.

Raisins conversions: FAQ

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

A cup measures volume, not weight. Raisins is less dense than water (145 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.
