One US cup, spooned and levelled; weights from USDA FoodData Central where it has one, reviewed August 15, 2026. How we calculate
55 g by ingredient
Why 55 g isn’t one cup amount
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the answer depends on the ingredient. Flour is light and holds air, so 55 g of it fills more cups than 55 g of sugar, whose crystals pack tightly. Only water and water-like liquids are 55 ml for 55 g.
No scale? Spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs in up to 30% more flour.
