Grams to Cups Conversions
Grams are a way to measure how heavy something is. Think of it like weighing your ingredients on a scale.
Cups, on the other hand, measure how much space something takes up.
That’s volume, like when you fill a glass with water.
The tricky part is that the conversion between grams and cups changes a ton depending on what you’re measuring.
Flour, sugar, and milk will all have totally different conversions.
When baking, it’s important to get your conversions correct, a guide on how to read a recipe will also improve your baking skills.
How To Convert Grams To Cups
To convert grams to cups, here’s what you do:
Know the Ingredient
Different ingredients change the amount. For example, 1 cup of flour is about 125 grams, and 1 cup of sugar is about 200 grams.
Use a Chart or Calculator
Find a chart or use the online calculator below to see how many grams are in a cup for your ingredient.
Simple Math
If you want to do it yourself, use this formula:
Cups = Grams of ingredient ÷ Grams per Cup of ingredient
For example, if you have 240 grams of flour, divide 240 by 120 (since 1 cup of flour is 120 grams). So, 240 grams of flour is 2 cups.
The challenge here is that you need to know how many grams of that ingredient are in a cup. We will do out best to solve that for you.
Weigh It
For the best results, use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients in grams.
This way, you can easily change grams into cups depending on what you’re measuring.
OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Kitchen Scale
The scale I grab most days. Solid, stainless, doesn’t smudge up like cheap chrome. What makes it a keeper? That pull-out display. You can drop a stockpot on top and still see the numbers without crouching down like a mechanic.
It tars quick, switches units with one button, and the platform pops off for cleaning when flour dust turns into dough glue. Feels like it was actually designed by someone who cooks, not just someone who sells gadgets.
Not the cheapest scale, but worth it if you’re cooking often and don’t want to fight with your tools. Mine’s been through roasts, bread, candy work - still reads true.
