|---|---|
| 1 metric cup (250 ml) | 187 g |

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.
1 cup of raw quinoa gives about 3 cups cooked (184 g per cooked cup).
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of quinoa (uncooked) weighs about 177 g (6.2 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 187 g.
1 level tablespoon of quinoa (uncooked) is about 11 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3.7 g.
100 g of quinoa (uncooked) is about 0.56 cups, or 9 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Quinoa (uncooked) is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (177 g vs 237 g).
