Questions

How much does a cup of raisins weigh?

A loosely filled US cup (236.6 ml) of raisins weighs 145 g. Packed, it weighs 165 g.

Do golden raisins weigh the same as dark raisins?

Close enough to use the same figures. Golden raisins are the same grapes dried differently.

Should I pack raisins into the cup?

Only if the recipe says "packed". Otherwise fill the cup loosely and level it with your hand.

A US cup of raisins weighs 145 g when spooned in loosely and 165 g when pressed down, according to the USDA. Half a cup of loose raisins weighs about 72 g.

Raisins are sticky and settle easily, so the same cup can hold quite different amounts. Unless the recipe says "packed", fill the cup without pressing. A small 1.5 oz snack box holds roughly a quarter cup.
