How to measure sliced banana
Both numbers come from the USDA entry “Bananas, raw”: 1 cup sliced is 150 grams and 1 cup mashed is 225 grams. By weight, 1 1/2 cups of slices weigh the same as 1 cup mashed. That matters when a recipe says one and you have the other. Sliced banana weighs about the same per cup as sliced peaches at 154 grams and a little more than blueberries at 148 grams. Half a cup is 75 grams and a quarter cup about 38 grams.
Sources: 150 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central (open FDC entry 173944), entry “Bananas, raw, 1 cup, sliced = 150 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
