Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1/2 cup of quinoa?
1/2 cup of quinoa is 85 grams, based on 170 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). Using a metric cup, 1/2 cup of quinoa would be 90 g.
Should I weigh quinoa 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.
