How to Measure Seedless Raisins Accurately
Spoon raisins loosely into the cup and level without tamping. Natural surface stickiness causes raisins to bridge and trap voids; pressing them firmly into the cup raises weight from 150g to 165g.
Packing Density Comparison (1 US Cup)

Seedless Raisins Measuring FAQs
Should raisins be plumped in hot water before baking? ▾
Yes, soaking raisins in warm water, juice, or rum for 15 minutes prevents them from drawing moisture out of cookie dough or cake crumb during baking.
How do golden raisins differ from dark raisins? ▾
Both come from Thompson Seedless grapes; dark raisins are sun-dried naturally, while golden raisins are treated with sulfur dioxide to prevent browning and oven-dried.
