Grams to cups converter
Approximate grams to US cups using water density (1 g ≈ 1 mL).
Results assume water or similar density. Ingredient pages provide precise values.

We use the US customary cup = 236.588 mL.
When to use this converter
Use only as a rough guide. Densities vary wildly; prefer the ingredient-specific page to avoid dry cakes or dense bread.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Never assume 1 cup = the same grams for all ingredients.
- Scoop-and-pack changes results; spoon and level for consistency.
Quick example 100 g of granulated sugar ≈ 0.5 US cup; 100 g of flour is closer to 0.8 cup. That's why density matters.
