How many ounces of dry cereal is in a cup?

Answer 1

It depends on the brand and type. Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, for example, weighs more per cup than their plain Kellogg's Corn Flakes. You really need to conduct experiments with various brands of dry cereal to answer this question definitively. Using a measuring cup or beaker, you could carefully measure out 8.5 fluid ounces of each cereal and weigh each sample, and then find their average. (It might be easier to measure exactly EIGHT ounces -- not 8.5 -- for the experiment.) BTW, a cup of Kellogg's Corn Flakes weighs just one ounce (28 grams). A cup of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes weighs 1.43 ounces, which is 43 percent heavier per cup.

Answer 2

Well, theres 8 ounces in a cup. So, 12 ounces is 1 and a half cups.

Actually, that last answer is out by about a factor of 10. Maybe if we are measuring a cup of water or dense substance we might be close but cerial (bran-flakes, Special-K etc) is not dense and sits in the cup with a lot of gaps and air. So I just weighted one cup of special K and it was 35grammes or 1.25 oz.

Answer 3

On average, there are about 3-4 ounces of dry cereal in a standard cup measurement. The exact weight can vary depending on the density and type of cereal.
