Pick the ingredient, enter grams from your scale, and read the cup equivalent.

1

Select the ingredient in your recipe.

Weigh when it matters

Volume-to-weight charts are averages. For finicky baking, weigh on a kitchen scale.

What the Cup Result Means

Cups are derived from chart density—not from water density. The same gram weight yields different cup counts by ingredient.

Worked Examples

120 g flour

Inputs

ingredient:all_purpose_flour
grams:120

Result

1 cup

120 ÷ 120 g/cup = 1 cup.

198 g sugar

Inputs

ingredient:granulated_sugar
grams:198

Result

1 cup

198 ÷ 198 g/cup = 1 cup.

Check your cup style

US customary cups differ from metric cups (250 mL). This cluster uses the US legal cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
