What Type of Crushed Tomatoes Do These Values Use?
This conversion is intended for canned crushed tomatoes with their natural juice or tomato purée. Stir the contents before measuring so the tomato pieces and liquid are evenly distributed.
The exact texture varies between brands. Some crushed tomatoes are nearly smooth, while others contain larger pieces. This can cause a small difference in the weight of one cup.
Should Crushed Tomatoes Be Drained?
These values are for crushed tomatoes measured without draining. Most recipes use both the tomatoes and the liquid because the liquid contributes moisture and tomato flavor.
If a recipe specifically asks for drained tomatoes, drain them before measuring. The resulting weight per cup will differ from the conversion shown here.
