Weights are for spoon-and-level measuring; packed or sifted ingredients will differ. Weighing is always more accurate.

A cup measures volume, but grams measure weight — so the conversion depends on the ingredient. Pick an ingredient to convert accurately between grams and US cups.

How to use the Grams to Cups Converter

  1. Choose grams → cups or cups → grams.
  2. Enter the amount.
  3. Select the ingredient to get the conversion.

How it works

Each ingredient has its own density: a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of sugar. The values used here are standard spoon-and-level weights per US cup (236.6 ml). Scooping flour straight from the bag can pack in 20% more, so weighing ingredients is always more reliable.
