Convert grams to cups for common baking ingredients using their typical densities.
Usage Tip
For accuracy in baking, weigh ingredients in grams rather than converting to cups.
Volume
— cups
In US cupsTHE MATH
cups = grams ÷ grams per cup
Density varies by ingredient: flour ≈ 125 g/cup, sugar ≈ 200 g/cup.
Densities are approximate; sifted or packed ingredients differ from these defaults.

Why grams to cups depends on the ingredient
A cup of honey weighs almost three times as much as a cup of flour. Because a cup is a fixed volume, the weight in grams changes with how dense the ingredient is – which is why this converter asks you to pick the ingredient first.
