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.

Cups

Water-density approximation. For flour, sugar, oil and other ingredients use the ingredient-specific converter — 1 cup of flour is not 1 cup of honey.

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.
