Grams to Cups Calculator / Convert Milk, Water, Flour Grams to Cups

Use this grams to cups conversion calculator to convert measurements from the metric system (grams) to the imperial system (cups).

This conversion is particularly valuable in cooking and baking, where recipes from different parts of the world may use varying units of measurement.

Grams to Cups Converter

Ingredient	Grams	Cups	Notes
All-purpose flour	250 g	2 cups	Commonly used amount in bread recipes
Granulated sugar	200 g	1 cup	Standard conversion for sugar
Brown sugar	220 g	1 cup	Packed brown sugar
Butter	113 g	0.5 cup	Half a cup, common in baking recipes
Water	236 g	1 cup	Standard conversion for water
Milk	244 g	1 cup	Slightly heavier than water
Honey	340 g	1 cup	Much denser than water
Olive oil	216 g	1 cup	Lighter than water
Salt	292 g	1 cup	Very dense compared to other ingredients
Rice (uncooked)	180 g	1 cup	Can vary slightly by rice type
Rolled oats	90 g	1 cup	Very light and fluffy
Chocolate chips	170 g	1 cup	For baking or snacking
Shredded cheese	113 g	1 cup	Can vary based on cheese type
Ground coffee	85 g	1 cup	For brewing a pot of coffee
Powdered sugar	125 g	1 cup	Also known as confectioner’s sugar

1. Flour and Sugar: These are staple baking ingredients. Notice how 1 cup of flour weighs less than 1 cup of sugar, which is important for recipe accuracy.
2. Liquids: Water and milk have similar weights per cup, while honey is much heavier, and olive oil is slightly lighter.
3. Butter: The 113g to 0.5 cup conversion is very common in recipes and is equivalent to one standard stick of butter in many countries.
4. Salt: It’s much denser than most other ingredients, which is why a little goes a long way in recipes.
5. Rice and Oats: These can vary somewhat based on the specific type (e.g., long-grain vs. short-grain rice, or old-fashioned vs. quick oats).
6. Chocolate chips and Shredded cheese: These are examples of ingredients where the cup measurement can be less precise due to air gaps between pieces.
7. Coffee: Ground coffee is quite light, which is why volume measurements are common for home brewing.
8. Powdered sugar: It’s lighter than granulated sugar due to its fine texture and added cornstarch.

Grams to Cups Converter Formula

The basic principle behind the conversion is:

Cups = Grams / (Density of the ingredient × 236.588)

Here, 236.588 is the number of grams in a cup of water, which is often used as a reference point.

For specific ingredients, we can use more precise formulas. Here are a few examples:

1. All-purpose flour: Cups = Grams / 125
2. Granulated sugar: Cups = Grams / 200
3. Brown sugar (packed): Cups = Grams / 220
4. Butter: Cups = Grams / 227

It’s important to note that these conversions are approximations, as factors like humidity, temperature, and how the ingredient is packed can affect its density.

For liquids, the conversion is more consistent:

Cups = Grams / 236.588

This formula works for water and most water-based liquids. For liquids with significantly different densities (like honey or oil), specific conversion factors should be used.
