Are you tired of guessing gram-to-cup conversions? Our grams-to-cups conversion chart is your solution! Designed for everyone from home cooks to professionals, it guarantees accurate and effortless ingredient measurements.
Grams to cups conversion
Converting grams to cups isn’t straightforward, as it depends heavily on your measuring ingredient density. Unlike liquid measurements, where one cup equals an exact amount of milliliters regardless of the liquid, dry ingredients vary significantly in weight-to-volume ratios. For example, one cup of flour weighs less than one cup of butter because flour is less dense.
To convert grams to cups accurately, you need the exact density of the ingredients. This density allows you to determine how many grams fit into a cup for that particular ingredient.
The density formula
When converting grams to cups, density determines how much space a given amount of an ingredient occupies. To calculate density, you have to know the ingredient’s mass and volume. The formula for density is:
density = mass/volume
Here’s how you can calculate the density of an ingredient:
- Weigh the ingredient using a kitchen scale to find its mass in grams.
- Use a measuring cup to find the volume of the ingredients in cups.
- Divide the mass by the volume to get the density.
For example, if you have 220 grams of flour and it occupies 1 cup, the density of the flour is:
Density: 220 g/1 cup = 220 g per cup
While calculating the density of each ingredient can be done, it is often impractical and time-consuming. An ingredient density chart can help you easily determine how many grams are in a cup.
However, a simplified conversion chart greatly simplifies the process, providing quick and accurate conversions and saving time and nerves while cooking. We have attached them below.
Different types of cups
Another problem when converting grams into cups is that there are at least eight different types of cups, each with a slightly different volume. For example, while the US customary cup is usually rounded to 240 ml, Canadian cups hold around 227 ml, and Australian cups measure 250 ml. This means the volume of your ingredients will differ in each cup.
Grams to cups conversion charts
While you can find quick results when converting Fahrenheit to Celsius and the other way around, cups to pints, cups to liters, cups to dl or cups to ml straight on Google, that isn’t the case when you need to convert grams into cups. As said, using a straightforward formula is impossible because each ingredient has a different density.
This is why the grams-to-cups conversion chart for the most often used baking ingredients is handy.
We created grams-to-cup conversion charts for customary US and metric cups and Australian cups. Values for tablespoons are also added. Print out the one you need and avoid the hassle of doing the math in your head or searching online. No more trouble, just easy cooking time.
GRAMS TO US CUSTOMARY CUPS CONVERSION CHART
The US customary cup is a standard unit of measurement commonly used in American recipes. It is defined as 236.588 milliliters but is usually rounded to 237 or 240 milliliters. It is used to measure both dry and liquid ingredients. The US uses customary cups due to historical practices and the ease of use within the established US customary system.
Here’s a handy, free printable chart to convert grams into US customary cups for frequently used baking ingredients.


GRAMS TO UK (METRIC) CUPS CONVERSION CHART
The UK metric cup is used in recipes in the United Kingdom, and it equals to 250 milliliters. This measurement is part of the metric system that the UK adopted. The UK metric cup is slightly larger than the US cup (236,58 ml).
The UK metric tablespoon measures 15 milliliters. This is the standard used in most UK recipes today.
Check this free printable conversion chart for converting common baking ingredients from grams to metric cups.


GRAMS TO AUSTRALIAN (METRIC) CUPS CONVERSION CHART
The Australian metric cup used in Australian recipes also equals 250 milliliters. This measurement follows the metric system Australia uses. Like the UK metric cup, the Australian metric cup is slightly larger than the US cup.
However, please note that the Australian tablespoon measures 20 milliliters, while the US customary tablespoon equals 14.79 milliliters.

Grams vs cups – the scale wins
In regards to baking, using a kitchen scale is always your best bet. Cups might seem easier, but they’re actually pretty unreliable. Ingredients like flour or sugar can pack down or fluff up, meaning a cup isn’t always the same amount each time you scoop. Most of the cup values you’ll get online are just rounded estimations.
A kitchen scale takes all the guesswork out by giving you the exact weight every single time – no messing around. It means your bakes turn out consistently tasty, just how you like them. Trust me, your cakes will thank you for it!
Grams to cups conversion FAQs
Cups measure volume, which can vary depending on how ingredients are scooped or packed – especially with things like flour, sugar, or grated cheese. Grams, on the other hand, measure weight and provide consistent, accurate results every time. That’s why professional bakers prefer grams or ounces and use a kitchen scale. It takes the guesswork out and ensures your ingredients are weighted accurately for your recipes to turn out perfectly every time.
It depends on what you’re doing. If you’re baking or following a recipe that lists ingredients by weight, converting grams to ounces is more accurate because both measure weight. Cups measure volume, which can vary depending on how ingredients are packed, making them less precise – especially for dry ingredients like flour or sugar. For the most reliable results, especially in baking, it’s best to stick with weight-to-weight conversions (grams to ounces) rather than switching to volume (cups).
Europeans use grams because they’re part of the metric system, which is standard across most of the world. Grams measure weight, making them far more precise. Unlike cups, grams don’t change based on how an ingredient is packed or scooped. It’s simply a more reliable, consistent way to measure ingredients.
It depends on the ingredient—300 grams doesn’t equal the same amount in cups for everything. For the most accurate result, it’s best to use a conversion chart based on the specific ingredient or to convert grams to ounces.
