How to convert grams to cups

Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the conversion needs the ingredient’s density: how much one cup of it weighs. The formula is cups = grams ÷ grams per cup. The converter holds a weight per cup for 414 ingredients.

Starting from a cup measurement instead? The grams in a cup reference compares flour, sugar, butter, oats, rice and other ingredients side by side.

Why density matters

A cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 g, and a cup of granulated sugar about 200 g. Measure sugar with flour’s figure and you are 60% out. That is why bakers who need the same result every time weigh their ingredients.

Tips for accurate measuring

Use a kitchen scale

For baking, a digital scale is more accurate than cups and makes scaling a recipe easy.

Spoon and level flour

Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping from the bag packs in too much.

Pack brown sugar

Press brown sugar firmly into the cup. It should hold its shape when turned out.

Soften butter first

Measure butter by the cup at room temperature; cold butter leaves air pockets.

Questions

How do I convert grams to cups?

Divide the weight in grams by the ingredient’s weight per cup. For example, 125 g of all-purpose flour is 1 cup, because a US cup of flour weighs 125 g. Each ingredient weighs a different amount per cup, so the answer changes with the ingredient.

Why does the grams to cups conversion change by ingredient?

Cups measure volume and grams measure weight. Ingredients have different densities: a cup of flour weighs less than a cup of sugar because flour holds more air. That is why you need the ingredient to convert.

Is it better to measure by weight or volume?

Weight is more accurate for baking, because it removes the difference in how firmly an ingredient is packed into a cup. Most home recipes still use cups, so this page gives both.

How many grams are in a cup of flour?

One US cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 g. Bread flour is about 127 g a cup, cake flour about 114 g and whole wheat flour about 120 g.

How many grams are in a cup of sugar?

One US cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 g. Packed brown sugar is about 220 g a cup, and powdered sugar about 120 g, because it is so fine.

Conversion method

Results use a US customary cup (236.588 ml). Spoon and level dry ingredients unless the ingredient name or recipe specifies packed, sifted, melted, chopped, or another condition. Brand, humidity, packing, and measuring technique can change a volume-based result.
