Why does raisins weigh what it weighs?

Dried fruits vary in density depending on size, moisture content, and whether they are packed. Raisins compress when scooped tightly; chopped fruits weigh more per cup than whole. For consistent flavor distribution in baked goods, weigh the fruit and toss with a little flour before folding into batter.

For raisins specifically, 1 cup weighs 165g. That is the figure to plug into recipes calling for cup measurements when you want gram precision. ChefVault stores this density (and 118 others) so you never have to look it up twice.

Recipes that originated outside the United States almost always specify weight in grams. Translating these to US cup measurements introduces error in every step. The ChefVault app handles the math automatically — paste a recipe, hit convert, get a clean weight-based version.
