How many grams are in a cup of raisins?

A cup of seedless raisins, loosely filled and not packed, weighs about 145 grams, which is roughly 5.11 ounces. This is the USDA reference measure.

How many grams are in a tablespoon of raisins?

Since there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, one tablespoon of raisins weighs about 9.06 grams using the same 145 g/cup density.

Does packing the cup change the weight?

Yes. Packing raisins down into the cup (the way brown sugar is packed) fits more in the same volume. USDA lists a packed cup of raisins at about 165 grams, versus 145 grams not packed. This tool uses the not-packed figure, which matches how most recipes expect raisins to be measured.

Does this figure apply to golden raisins or other varieties?

The 145 g/cup figure is for regular seedless (dark) raisins. Golden raisins and other dried fruit varieties can weigh slightly differently per cup due to size and moisture differences.

Is this a US cup or a metric cup?

This tool uses the US cup (236.6 ml). A metric cup (250 ml) would give a slightly higher gram result.

Summary

Raisins are measured by volume in most recipes but by weight on nutrition labels and in scale-based baking. This tool converts any cup amount to grams and ounces using the USDA reference density of 145 grams per cup (loosely filled, not packed), and includes a reference table for common measurements so you do not need to run the math yourself.
