Cups of sliced strawberries to ounces runs on one number, 5.8554777 ounces per cup. It is a measured property of this ingredient rather than a defined conversion, which is why a generic volume-to-weight tool cannot give you it.
Put next to water — 1 g per mL exactly — sliced strawberries measures 0.70164 g per mL. That ratio, 70.16%, is what separates this page from every other ingredient in the same units, and it is measured rather than defined.
A cup of sliced strawberries is 166 g when it is measured the standard way, but how it gets into the cup changes the answer: between about 156 g and 185.9 g covers the range from lightly spooned to firmly packed. That 12% spread is larger than most of the adjustments recipes fuss over, and it disappears entirely the moment the ingredient is weighed instead.
One cup of sliced strawberries is 5.855 oz. US kitchen scales usually step in eighths of an ounce, which is 3.54 g — around 2.13% of a cup of this ingredient, so the scale is precise enough for a full cup and coarse for a spoonful. That is why recipes mix the two systems: ounces for the bulk, spoons for the small amounts.
The condition this weight assumes: Sliced. Whole berries leave much larger gaps and weigh less per cup.
The formula
cups- The amount of sliced strawberries you are converting, in cups
5.85547768363- Ounces per cup for sliced strawberries, from its density of 0.70164 g/mL
ounces- The equivalent quantity in ounces
How it works, step by step
- Enter the quantity in cups.
- It is multiplied by 5.85547768363, the ounces-per-cup figure for sliced strawberries.
- The result appears in ounces, with a second reading in g beneath it.
- Use the measure table if you want a standard recipe quantity rather than a number you type in.
Worked examples
1/3 cup of sliced strawberries in ounces
1/3 cup of sliced strawberries weighs out at 1.95183 ounces. Divide 1.95183 by 5.8554777 and you get back to 1/3 cup, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.
3/4 cup of sliced strawberries in ounces
3/4 cup of sliced strawberries weighs out at 4.39161 ounces. Divide 4.39161 by 5.8554777 and you get back to 3/4 cup, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.
3 cup of sliced strawberries in ounces
3 cup of sliced strawberries weighs out at 17.5664 ounces. Divide 17.5664 by 5.8554777 and you get back to 3 cup, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.

Frequently asked questions
How many ounces are in 1 cup of sliced strawberries?
One cup of sliced strawberries is 5.8554777 ounces. Half that quantity is 2.92774 ounces and double it is 11.711 ounces, so the figure scales straight up and down — there is no offset in this conversion, only the factor.
Why is a cup of sliced strawberries not 236 g like water?
Because weight per cup depends on what is in the cup. Sliced strawberries has a density of 0.70164 g per mL where water has 1.00, so a cup of it weighs 166 g rather than 236.6 g. That is a difference of 70.6 g per cup, and it is the reason a single volume-to-weight factor cannot be applied to every ingredient.
Does how I measure it change the weight?
Yes, and by more than most people expect. Handling changes the weight of a cup of sliced strawberries by roughly 12% — about 9.96 g either side of 166 g — because sliced. Weighing removes the question entirely.
Is a fluid ounce of sliced strawberries the same as an ounce?
No. A fluid ounce is a volume — one eighth of a US cup, 29.57 mL — and an ounce is a weight. One fluid ounce of sliced strawberries weighs 0.7319 oz, so the two readings differ by 26.8%. They coincide only for something with the density of water, and then only roughly.
Is this a US cup or a metric cup?
US customary: 236.59 mL, which is the cup every US recipe means. A metric cup is 250 mL, so the same cup of sliced strawberries would weigh 175.41 g instead of 166 g — 9.41 g more, or 5.67%. Australian and some European recipes use the metric cup, and the difference is large enough to matter in baking.
Do I need a scale for this, or will measuring cups do?
A scale, if the result matters. Volume measuring carries a spread of about 12% for sliced strawberries — roughly 19.9 g on a 166 g cup — while a domestic scale is accurate to a gram or two. For anything where the ratio of ingredients drives the outcome, bread and pastry above all, weigh it.
How many cups of sliced strawberries is 16 oz?
16 oz of sliced strawberries is 2.7325 cups — 0.17078 cups to one ounce, so 16 × 0.17078 = 2.7325. Going that way is a division by 5.85548, or a multiplication by 0.17078 if you prefer.
