250 g of breadcrumbs in cups
250 g ≈ 2.31 cups
That is also 37 tablespoons, at 108 g per US cup.
How to measure it
2¼ cups + 1 tablespoon
2.31 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 2.31 cup in the drawer. The line above is the same quantity in the sizes you actually own, and following it lands within a teaspoon of 250 g.
Spoon the breadcrumbs into the cup and level it off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down; on flour that alone is worth about 20%, which is more than the difference this page is measuring.

Why this number moves
Dry breadcrumbs. Fresh ones are lighter and much more variable.
This page uses 108 g per US cup. If your recipe came with its own figure, use theirs — internal consistency matters more than which table is right.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 250 g of breadcrumbs?
2.31 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 2¼ cups + 1 tablespoon. One US cup of breadcrumbs weighs about 108 g.
How do I measure 250 g of breadcrumbs without scales?
2¼ cups + 1 tablespoon. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts breadcrumbs and can add a fifth to the weight.
Is this the same in the UK?
The gram figure is, the cup is not. A US cup is 236.6 ml and the metric cup used in Australia and much of Europe is 250 ml, so a European cup of breadcrumbs weighs about 114 g. These pages use the US cup.
