How to convert ounces of couscous to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 1 oz = 28 g. One US cup of couscous weighs 173 g, so 28 ÷ 173 = 0.16 cups.
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1 ounce of couscous?
1 ounce of couscous is about 2½ tablespoons (0.16 cups), based on 173 g per level US cup.
Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?
Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 1 ounce of couscous is 0.16 cups.
Should I weigh couscous or measure it by volume?
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
