220 grams of pumpkin puree = 0.90 cups (⅞ cup / 14.4 tbsp / 43.1 tsp)
Pumpkin Puree has a density of approximately 245g per cup. Canned puree. Home-roasted and mashed pumpkin can run lighter depending on straining. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200g | 0.82 | ⅞ | 13.1 | 39.2 |
| 210g | 0.86 | ⅞ | 13.7 | 41.1 |
| 220g | 0.90 | ⅞ | 14.4 | 43.1 |
| 225g | 0.92 | ⅞ | 14.7 | 44.1 |

How 220g Converts, Step by Step
220g divided by 245g (the weight of one cup of pumpkin puree) equals 0.90 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 14.4 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 43.1 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 220g of pumpkin puree fills less volume (212ml) than the same weight of water would (221ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 220 grams to cups page.
If You're Using a Metric or Imperial Cup
The 0.90 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 220g, that's ⅞ metric cups or ¾ 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 This 220g Amount
Doubling a recipe that calls for 220g of pumpkin puree means weighing 440g, or measuring 1.80 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 110g, or 0.45 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 Next to Other Produce & Purees
Within produce & purees, density still varies by ingredient. At 220g, applesauce (244g per cup) measures ⅞ cup, while mashed banana (225g per cup) measures ⅞ cup, compared to ⅞ cup for pumpkin puree. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Using Pumpkin Puree 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.
Measuring This Precisely
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 220 grams of pumpkin puree in cups exactly?+
220 grams of pumpkin puree equals 0.90 cups, based on a density of 245g per cup.
Why doesn't 220g of pumpkin puree match a simple fraction?+
220g isn't a multiple of pumpkin puree's per-cup weight, so the cup value lands between common fractions. The closest practical measure is ⅞ cup.
What's the most reliable way to measure 220g of pumpkin puree?+
A kitchen scale set to grams gives an exact 220g reading. Cups only approximate this amount, since ⅞ cup rounds to the nearest practical fraction.
Is 220g likely a typo for a rounder amount?+
Possibly, if a recipe seems to expect a cleaner number. Check the nearby amounts table below for the closest common gram values for pumpkin puree.
