Changes grams, ounces or tablespoons to cups, or cups to grams, for a named ingredient such as flour, sugar or butter, and shows the weight per cup it used. The answer is an estimate.

How to use it

  1. Choose the ingredient. Each one has its own weight per cup.
  2. Choose the direction: grams to cups, cups to grams, ounces to cups and so on.

Assumptions

  • One US cup is about 237 mL.
  • Weights per cup are typical household-measure values, shown on the page and labelled as estimates.
  • An ingredient that is not in the list cannot be converted; the page does not guess.

Printed from oneclickanswers.com. Results are estimates based on what was entered; see the assumptions above.

How it works

A cup holds a fixed amount of space but different foods weigh different amounts per cup, so converting grams to cups only makes sense for a named ingredient. The page uses a typical weight per US cup for each of 24 common ingredients and shows the one it used.

For example, 200 g is 1 cup of granulated sugar (200 g per cup) but 1 3/5 cups of all-purpose flour (125 g per cup). The page converts with plain arithmetic: grams divided by grams per cup.

The result is an estimate. Real weights change with the brand and with how the food is packed: flour that is scooped weighs more than flour that is spooned and leveled. If your recipe gives grams, weighing is the more accurate way.

Questions

How many cups is 200 grams of flour?

About 1 3/5 cups, using 125 g per cup for all-purpose flour.

Why does 200 grams of sugar give a different number of cups?

Sugar is denser than flour: a cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 g, so 200 g is 1 cup.

How should I measure flour in cups?

Spoon it into the cup and level it off. Scooping with the cup packs the flour and can add 20% or more.

Is this exact?

No. It is an estimate, and the page says so. Use a scale where the recipe gives weight.
