Cups to Grams Converter

How this works

Volume measurements like cups are convenient but imprecise, because how densely an ingredient is packed changes its weight. A cup of sifted flour can weigh 15–20% less than a cup of flour scooped straight from the bag. Weighing ingredients in grams removes that variability, which is why most professional and European recipes use weight instead of volume.

This calculator uses standard gram-per-cup weights for common baking and cooking ingredients, based on how each ingredient is typically measured (spooned-and-leveled for dry ingredients, packed for brown sugar).

Source: Gram weights per cup are based on King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart, the standard reference used by U.S. baking cookbooks.
