Understanding the Grams to Cups Converter

American recipes measure by volume (cups, tablespoons) while most of the world measures by weight (grams). Because a cup is a volume, the grams in a cup depend on the ingredient — a cup of flour is about 120 g, but a cup of sugar is about 200 g.

This chart gives grams per cup and per tablespoon for common baking ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, and more), so you can bake metric recipes with US cups, or convert grandma's cup measures into precise grams.

Grams to Cups Converter FAQ

Why is grams per cup different for each ingredient? ▾

A cup measures volume; grams measure weight. Dense ingredients (sugar, honey) weigh more per cup than light ones (flour, oats), so each ingredient has its own factor.
