FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert grams to cups?
On a water basis, divide grams by 236.59, because 1 US cup of water weighs 236.59 g. For example, 250 g of water ≈ 1.06 cups.
Why does grams-to-cups depend on the ingredient?
Cups measure volume and grams measure weight, so the result changes with density. This tool assumes water (1 g = 1 mL); flour, sugar and oil weigh less or more per cup.
How many grams is 1 cup of water?
One US cup of water is 236.59 grams (236.59 mL × 1 g/mL).
Can I use this for flour or sugar?
Only as a rough guide. A cup of all-purpose flour is about 120 g and a cup of granulated sugar about 200 g, both lighter than a cup of water — check an ingredient-specific chart for accuracy.
