200 grams of shredded carrot = 1.82 cups (1⅞ cups / 29.1 tbsp / 87.3 tsp)
Shredded Carrot has a density of approximately 110g per cup. Raw and shredded. Cooked shredded carrot differs due to moisture loss during cooking. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 180g | 1.64 | 1⅝ | 26.2 | 78.5 |
| 190g | 1.73 | 1¾ | 27.6 | 82.9 |
| 200g | 1.82 | 1⅞ | 29.1 | 87.3 |
| 210g | 1.91 | 1⅞ | 30.5 | 91.6 |
| 220g | 2.00 | 2 | 32.0 | 96.0 |
How the 200g Figure Is Calculated
200g divided by 110g (the weight of one cup of shredded carrot) equals 1.82 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 29.1 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 87.3 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Shredded Carrot is lighter than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 200g of shredded carrot takes up more volume (430ml) than the same weight of water would (200ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 200 grams to cups page.
If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups
The 1.82 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 200g, that's 1¾ metric cups or 1½ imperial cups of shredded carrot, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Scaling 200g Up or Down
Doubling a recipe that calls for 200g of shredded carrot means weighing 400g, or measuring 3.64 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 100g, or 0.91 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.
Shredded Carrot vs. Other Produce & Purees
Within produce & purees, density still varies by ingredient. At 200g, mashed banana (225g per cup) measures ⅞ cup, while applesauce (244g per cup) measures ⅞ cup, compared to 1⅞ cups for shredded carrot. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Using Shredded Carrot in Recipes
- Recipes typically call for this ingredient in amounts ranging from a tablespoon to a full cup, depending on the dish.
- Check your specific recipe for the exact gram amount, then use the converter above to find the matching cup measurement.
How to Measure It Accurately
Produce & Purees
Purees should be leveled with a spatula. Chopped produce should be packed only if the recipe specifically calls for it.
For exact results
Puree consistency varies by brand and preparation method, so a homemade puree may measure differently by weight than a canned one even at the same cup volume.

Why is shredded carrot's gram-to-cup ratio different from other ingredients?+
Shredded Carrot weighs 110g per cup because of its own density. Raw and shredded. Cooked shredded carrot differs due to moisture loss during cooking.
Does a metric or imperial cup change this 200g conversion?+
Yes, slightly. 200g of shredded carrot is 1¾ metric cups or 1½ imperial cups, versus 1⅞ US cups, since each cup standard holds a different volume.
