About <span data-name={fname} data-namehi={fnameHi} data-nameintl={fnameIntl}>{fname}</span>
Saffron (केसर) is a staple in Indian cooking. When measuring Saffron for recipes, weight (grams) is more accurate than volume (cups) — especially when scaling recipes up or down for different serving sizes.
Our converter stores a verified density of 2 grams per US cup (240ml). This means 1 cup of Saffron weighs 2g, 1 tablespoon weighs 0.1g, and 1 teaspoon weighs approximately 0.03g. A 250g (half-pack) of Saffron is about 125.00 cups, and 500g is about 250.0 cups.
For the best cooking results when scaling Saffron in recipes, use grams rather than cups. Volume measurements can vary based on how tightly the cup is packed, while weight is always consistent. You can compare Saffron against all 254 ingredients in our printable density chart.
