FAQ

How many cups is 100 grams?

It depends on the ingredient, because a cup measures volume and grams measure weight. 100 grams is 0.8 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 0.44 cups of butter and 0.42 cups of water.

How do you convert grams to cups?

Divide the grams by the weight of one cup of that ingredient. A US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams, so 200 grams of flour is 200 ÷ 125 = 1.6 cups.

Where do the cup weights come from?

From USDA FoodData Central, the food composition database of the US Department of Agriculture, which lists the weight of a household cup for each food. Every result page names the exact entry. Water is the exception: 1 ml of water weighs about 1 g, so a cup of water weighs its volume, 236.6 grams.

Is this a US cup or a metric cup?

A US customary cup of 236.6 ml. The metric cup used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada holds 250 ml, about 5.7 % more, so the same weight fills slightly fewer metric cups.
