Converting 170 Grams to Cups

When converting 170 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:

All-Purpose Flour

1⅜ cups

1 cup + 5 tablespoons + 2¼ teaspoons

Almond Flour

1¾ cups

1 cup + 12 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon

Granulated Sugar

⅞ cup

13 tablespoons + 1¾ teaspoons

Brown Sugar (Packed)

¾ cup

12 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon

Powdered Sugar

1⅜ cups

1 cup + 6 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons

Honey

½ cup

8 tablespoons

Why the Difference?

The reason 170g of flour isn't the same volume as 170g of sugar comes down to density. Flour is light and fluffy, with air trapped between particles, so a cup of flour weighs less. Sugar crystals pack together more densely, making a cup of sugar heavier.
