50 g of breadcrumbs in cups

50 g ≈ 0.46 cups

That is also 7.41 tablespoons, at 108 g per US cup.

How to measure it

⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons

0.46 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 0.46 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 50 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 50 g of breadcrumbs?

0.46 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons. One US cup of breadcrumbs weighs about 108 g.

How do I measure 50 g of breadcrumbs without scales?

⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons. 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.
