Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of raisins weighs about 156 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring raisins accurately
Spoon raisins loosely into your measuring cup rather than pouring straight from the bag, which often compacts them unevenly. If a recipe calls for packed raisins, press them down gently with your fingers to remove large air pockets. Using a scale eliminates guesswork since dried fruit moisture levels affect density.
