Free Cups to Grams Converter (+ Guide)

What is a cups to grams converter?

A cups to grams converter turns a measure of volume into a weight for a given ingredient.

Bakers outside the US weigh everything, and most US recipes use cups, so it's the bridge between the 2.

Why a cup weighs different amounts

A cup holds the same space whatever you put in it. But flour is light and airy, and honey is dense.

Each figure is USDA's own, from FoodData Central, the US Department of Agriculture's food database.

How to convert cups to grams

Pick the ingredient and type the amount.

A worked example

Here's the example the calculator loads: 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

1 cup weighs 125 g in USDA's data, so 2 cups weigh 250 g, or 8.82 oz.

How to measure a cup the right way

USDA's flour weight is a dipped and leveled cup.

• Packing flour into the cup, which adds weight
• Measuring sticky ingredients without greasing the cup first
• Using a liquid measuring jug for dry ingredients
• Using a cup from another country's set for a US recipe

Who is the cups to grams converter for?

It's for bakers, cooks with US recipes abroad, and anyone with a kitchen scale, and these tools help around it.

• Recipe scaler – for every line of a recipe, with grams
• Cooking converter – for every kitchen unit at once
• Oven temperature converter – for °F, °C and gas marks

Weigh it once, and the recipe comes out the same every time.
