Cups to Grams Conversion

How the Cups to Grams Conversion Calculator Works

When it comes to cooking or baking, one of the most common challenges is converting measurements from cups to grams. Many recipes use cups, but ingredients are often measured in grams for accuracy. Our Cups to Grams Conversion Calculator helps solve this problem easily and accurately. Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Enter the Number of Cups

The first thing you need to do is enter the number of cups you want to convert into grams. This is the volume of your ingredient, and the calculator will use this value to give you an accurate conversion.

Step 2: Select the Ingredient

Next, you need to choose the ingredient you are working with. Different ingredients have different densities, so the weight of one cup will vary. For example:

• 1 cup of flour = 120 grams
• 1 cup of sugar = 200 grams
• 1 cup of butter = 227 grams

The calculator has a list of common ingredients with their standard cup-to-grams conversion.

Step 3: Use the “Other” Option

If your ingredient is not listed in the dropdown, simply select the “Other” option. This allows you to enter a custom conversion factor. For instance, if you know that 1 cup of a particular ingredient weighs 150 grams, just enter that number, and the calculator will use it for your conversion.

Step 4: Click “Convert to Grams”

After selecting the ingredient (or entering your custom conversion factor), click the “Convert to Grams” button. The calculator will instantly show the weight of the ingredient in grams based on the number of cups you entered.

Example

• If you enter 3 cups of flour, the calculator will tell you that:
  • 3 cups of flour = 360 grams (since 1 cup of flour is 120 grams).
• If you choose the “Other” option and enter 150 grams per cup for a custom ingredient, the calculator will show:
  • 3 cups of custom ingredient = 450 grams.
