| Standard (1×) | 300g (10.58 oz) | 2 cups | 473.2 mL |

Measuring 300g of Seedless Raisins in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of seedless raisins weighs 150g when measured gently spoon and level, 300 Grams (300g) translates to 2.00 US cups (2 cups). By contrast, using the firmly packed raisins measure (165g/cup — a 15g per-cup shift), 300g occupies 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp (1.82 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 cups (32 tablespoons total) using gently spoon and level technique. 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.
