Grams per Cup for Common Ingredients

A cup is a volume, so grams-per-cup depends entirely on the ingredient. Find yours below to convert a gram weight into cups (or half cups).

Ingredient1 cup1/2 cup
All-purpose flour120 g60 g
Granulated sugar200 g100 g
Brown sugar (packed)213 g107 g
Powdered sugar113 g57 g
Butter227 g113 g
Rice (uncooked)185 g93 g
Rolled oats90 g45 g
Honey340 g170 g
Water / milk237 g118 g

Divide your gram weight by the "1 cup" value to get cups. E.g. 240 g of flour ÷ 120 = 2 cups.

Accurate Grams to Cups Conversion for Every Ingredient

Unlike simple unit conversions, converting grams to cups requires knowing the ingredient density. A cup of packed brown sugar weighs about 220g, while a cup of cocoa powder weighs only about 85g. Our converter includes density data for dozens of common cooking and baking ingredients, giving you precise cup measurements from gram values and vice versa.

Essential Baking Conversions at Your Fingertips

Baking is a science where precision matters. International recipes often use gram measurements, while American recipes use cups. Our converter bridges this gap with ingredient-specific accuracy. Stop guessing and start measuring with confidence whether you are following a French pastry recipe or scaling an American cookie recipe.

Common Ingredient Conversions

Quick reference: 1 cup all-purpose flour is about 125g, 1 cup granulated sugar is about 200g, 1 cup butter is about 227g, 1 cup rice is about 185g, and 1 cup oats is about 90g. These values are approximations since exact weights depend on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
