Quick answers

1/4 cup of cooked quinoa is about 46 g, 1/3 cup is about 61 g, 1/2 cup is about 92 g, 2/3 cup is about 123 g, 3/4 cup is about 138 g and 1 cup is about 184 g (6.5 oz). One tablespoon is about 11.5 g and one teaspoon about 3.8 g.

Example: using cooked quinoa in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa, that is 1.5 x 184 g, or about 276 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 184 to get about 1 1/8 cups.

How to measure cooked quinoa

Grains, flakes and meals vary by brand and by how finely they are processed. Pour the cooked quinoa into the cup without tapping and level it. Check whether the recipe means cooked or uncooked, because cooked weighs far more.

Where these weights come from
