A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Pour grains into the cup and level them off. Cooked grains are lightly packed.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of couscous (dry) weighs about 173 g (6.1 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 183 g.
1 level tablespoon of couscous (dry) is about 11 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3.6 g.
100 g of couscous (dry) is about 0.58 cups, or 9.2 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Couscous (dry) is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (173 g vs 237 g).
