Measuring 250g of Canned Pumpkin Puree in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of canned pumpkin puree weighs 227g when measured dip and sweep, 250 Grams (250g) translates to 1.10 US cups (1 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (17.62 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Spoon dense pumpkin puree into a dry measuring cup, tap once lightly on the counter to eliminate air pockets, and sweep level. One standard 15-ounce can contains 425 grams, which equals roughly 1 7/8 cups (227g per level cup).
