Cups to Grams Converter

Convert US cups to grams and ounces for common baking ingredients, because a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of sugar.

Tip from Tink: Weighing flour is more accurate than measuring cups.

How to convert cups to grams

Grams = cups × grams per cup for that ingredient

  1. A cup measures volume, a gram measures weight, so each ingredient differs.
  2. Look up the grams in one US cup (240 ml) of your ingredient.
  3. Multiply by the number of cups.
  4. Spoon and level flour for the most accurate result.
