Ounces of sliced strawberries to cups runs on one number, 0.17078026 cups per ounce. 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.
How the figure is arrived at: Sliced. Whole berries leave much larger gaps and weigh less per cup.
The formula
ounces- The amount of sliced strawberries you are converting, in ounces
0.170780259789- Cups per ounce for sliced strawberries, from its density of 0.70164 g/mL
cups- The equivalent quantity in cups
How it works, step by step
- Enter the quantity in ounces.
- It is multiplied by 0.170780259789, the cups-per-ounce figure for sliced strawberries.
- The result appears in cups, with a second reading in tbsp beneath it.
- Use the measure table if you want a standard recipe quantity rather than a number you type in.
Worked examples
2 oz of sliced strawberries in cups
Take 2 oz of sliced strawberries: 2 × 0.17078026 gives 0.341561 cups. Doubling the batch takes it to 0.683121 cups, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.
4 oz of sliced strawberries in cups
Take 4 oz of sliced strawberries: 4 × 0.17078026 gives 0.683121 cups. Doubling the batch takes it to 1.36624 cups, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.
12 oz of sliced strawberries in cups
Take 12 oz of sliced strawberries: 12 × 0.17078026 gives 2.04936 cups. Doubling the batch takes it to 4.09873 cups, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups are in 1 oz of sliced strawberries?
One ounce of sliced strawberries is 0.17078026 cups. Half that quantity is 0.0853901 cups and double it is 0.341561 cups, 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 much does 2 cup of sliced strawberries weigh?
2 cup of sliced strawberries comes to 332 g, or 11.711 ounces. This page runs that calculation in reverse — enter a weight and it returns the volume — and the cups-to-ounces page does it in the direction the question is usually asked.
