Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this conversion tool and how to use it.
It depends on the ingredient. 1 cup of water = 236.59 g, 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125 g, 1 cup of granulated sugar = 200 g, and 1 cup of butter = 227 g. Always check the specific ingredient density.
Cups measure volume while grams measure mass. Lighter, fluffier ingredients (like flour) weigh less per cup than denser ingredients (like sugar or butter). This is why baking by weight (grams) is more accurate.
250 grams of all-purpose flour equals approximately 2 cups. This is based on the standard density of 125 grams per cup for sifted all-purpose flour.
No. A US cup is 236.588 mL, while a metric cup (used in Australia, New Zealand, and some other countries) is exactly 250 mL. Our converter uses US cups by default.
1 US cup of granulated sugar weighs approximately 200 grams. Brown sugar is slightly heavier at about 220 grams per cup (packed), and powdered sugar is lighter at about 120 grams per cup.
Many American recipes use cups while most international and professional recipes use grams. Converting between the two helps you follow any recipe accurately, whether from a US cookbook or a European one.
