How to measure chopped celery
The USDA entry is “Celery, raw, 1 cup chopped = 101 g”. King Arthur Baking’s chart gives 142 grams for a cup of diced celery, a large gap for the same vegetable, which shows how much the cut and the way the cup is filled matter for chopped vegetables. Chopped celery is the lightest of the chopped vegetables on this site: grated carrots are 110 grams per cup, chopped red bell pepper 149 grams and chopped onion 160 grams. Chop the stalks, spoon the pieces in and level the cup without pressing. Half a cup is about 51 grams and a quarter cup about 25 grams.
Sources: 101 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central (open FDC entry 169988), entry “Celery, raw, 1 cup chopped = 101 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
