When to use this converter

Great for quick planning, but switch to the ingredient page for accuracy—each cup weight depends on density and packing.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • US vs metric cup alters gram output; stick to one system in a recipe.
  • For flours, spoon and level instead of scooping from the bag.
Quick example 1 cup of granulated sugar ≈ 200 g; 1 cup of all-purpose flour ≈ 120 g. Always check the ingredient-specific table.
