How to measure shredded zucchini

Shredded zucchini sheds a lot of water — for baking, squeeze it in a towel, then re-measure.

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

Shredded zucchini conversions: FAQ

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

A cup measures volume, not weight. Shredded zucchini is less dense than water (135 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.
