Converting 240 Grams to Cups
When converting 240 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:
All-Purpose Flour
1⅞ cups
1 cup + 14 tablespoons + 2¼ teaspoons
Almond Flour
2½ cups
2 cups + 8 tablespoons
Granulated Sugar
1¼ cups
1 cup + 3 tablespoons + ½ teaspoon
Brown Sugar (Packed)
1⅛ cups
1 cup + 1 tablespoon + 1¼ teaspoons
Powdered Sugar
2 cups
2 cups
Honey
⅔ cup
11 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon
Why the Difference?
The reason 240g of flour isn't the same volume as 240g 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.
