A recipe calls for 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs — how many grams is that?

1/2 cup × 108 g = 54 g. Dry breadcrumbs measure fairly consistently by volume since their particle size is fairly uniform.

Can I use this conversion for fresh breadcrumbs made from torn-up bread?

No — fresh breadcrumbs are much lighter and fluffier than dry, packaged breadcrumbs, and their weight per cup varies a lot depending on how finely the bread is torn. This conversion (108 g per cup) is for dry, store-bought breadcrumbs only.

Breadcrumbs (dry): 108 Grams

Dry breadcrumbs are light, weighing about 108 g per cup, similar to rolled oats — both are dried, low-density materials with lots of air between particles. Fresh breadcrumbs (made from soft bread, not dried) are significantly lighter and more variable by volume, so this conversion applies specifically to dry, packaged breadcrumbs.
