About
Culinary plant foods that pack loosely when cut, making a cup weigh noticeably less than a cup of water.
At about 4.6 ounces per cup (0.55 g/mL), cut vegetables leave plenty of open space in any container. A standard US quart (0.95 L) holds around 1.15 pounds (520 g) of chopped produce. This bulk density is comparable to loosely packed flour, making them far less dense than solid roots or water. Because of these air pockets, preparing fresh produce takes up substantial bowl space for relatively little total mass.
From Wikipedia
Vegetables are edible parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food. This original meaning is still commonly used, and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including flowers, fruits, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds.

Quick answer
One US cup of chopped vegetables weighs about 4.6 ounces (130 g). This is roughly half the weight of a cup of water because of the air gaps between the pieces.
