Peppers to Cups Conversion (Bell Peppers and Jalapeno Peppers)

Many recipes call for a specific number of diced bell peppers or jalapenos but peppers can vary tremendously in size. A very large bell pepper can weigh twice as much as a small one, for example. This guide tells you what size of what pepper will yield how many cups of diced pepper.

How many cups of diced pepper does a large bell pepper yield:

One large bell pepper (about 12 ounces) will yield about 2 cups of diced pepper. (With each chunk of diced bell pepper measuring about ½ inch per side.)

How many cups of diced pepper does a small bell pepper yield:

One small bell pepper (about 6 ounces) will yield about 1 cup of diced pepper. (With each chunk of diced bell pepper measuring about ½ inch per side.)

How many cups of diced pepper does a large jalapeno pepper yield:

One large jalapeno pepper (about 1 ½ ounces) will yield about ¼ cup of diced pepper. (With each chunk of diced jalapeno pepper measuring about ¼ inch per side.)

How many cups of diced pepper does a small jalapeno pepper yield:

One small jalapeno pepper (about ¾ of an ounce) will yield about 2 tablespoons of diced pepper. (With each chunk of diced jalapeno pepper measuring about ¼ inch per side.)
