How the 100g Figure Is Calculated

cups = grams ÷ grams per cup

100g divided by 245g (the weight of one cup of pumpkin puree) equals 0.41 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 6.5 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 19.6 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.

Pumpkin Puree is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 100g of pumpkin puree fills less volume (97ml) than the same weight of water would (100ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 100 grams to cups page.

If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups

The 0.41 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 100g, that's ⅜ metric cups or ⅓ imperial cups of pumpkin puree, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.

Scaling 100g Up or Down

Doubling a recipe that calls for 100g of pumpkin puree means weighing 200g, or measuring 0.82 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 50g, or 0.20 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.

Pumpkin Puree vs. Other Produce & Purees

Within produce & purees, density still varies by ingredient. At 100g, applesauce (244g per cup) measures ⅜ cup, while mashed banana (225g per cup) measures ½ cup, compared to ⅜ cup for pumpkin puree. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
