Carrots in Grams: 1 Cup, ½ Cup Conversion Table
1 cup of grated carrots weighs 128 grams. These values are for freshly grated (shredded) carrots — pre-shredded carrots from a bag are drier and less dense. Sliced or chopped carrots pack completely differently and will weigh more per cup. Squeeze out excess moisture from grated carrots before adding to cake batter to avoid a soggy result.
For the most accurate results, weigh your carrots with a digital kitchen scale — the values below assume a level, unpacked cup.

Who is this useful for?
If you're an international cook following US-based recipes, you'll often encounter cup measurements for carrots. However, many countries — including those in Europe and Asia — primarily use grams for precision. Converting carrots to grams ensures consistent and reliable results, whether you're baking or cooking.
Why accuracy matters for carrots
Precision is especially important when using carrots in baking and cooking. Even small variations in weight can impact the texture, consistency, and flavour of your dish. For example, too much carrots in a recipe can make baked goods dense, while too little may cause them to be too dry or crumbly.
Common mistakes to avoid when cooking with carrots
- Using pre-shredded carrots from a bag instead of freshly grated — they are drier and coarser, which affects texture in baking.
- Not squeezing excess moisture from grated carrots before adding to cake batter, making it too wet.
- Measuring sliced and chopped carrots interchangeably — the weight per cup differs depending on how finely they are cut.
