Weight conversions are approximate and vary by how ingredients are measured (packed vs. loose).
How the Cooking Measurement Converter works
Convert between common volume measurements like cups, tablespoons, and milliliters, or select an ingredient to see the approximate weight in grams for that volume.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a cup of flour?
About 120 grams for all-purpose flour, though this varies slightly depending on whether the flour is packed or sifted.
Why do weight conversions depend on the ingredient?
Different ingredients have different densities — a cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of honey — so weight-per-cup varies by ingredient.
