Convert cups to grams for common ingredients.
Converts US cups to grams for common baking ingredients — flour, sugar, butter, etc. Weight depends on ingredient density, so 1 cup of flour ≠ 1 cup of sugar.
For accuracy, weigh ingredients on a kitchen scale.
Professional bakers weigh nearly everything rather than measuring by volume specifically because of this density problem — a scale removes the guesswork of how tightly an ingredient was packed into the cup.
1 cup of flour ≈ 125 g. Other ingredients vary — pick from the dropdown.
Density of packed vs sifted, and different flour brands vary. Weighing is always more consistent than measuring by volume.
US = 240 ml, metric = 250 ml, UK = 284 ml. This tool uses US cups.
Yes, noticeably — scooping directly from the bag packs the flour more densely than spooning it in loosely, which can add up to 20-25% more flour by weight for the same cup measurement.
