Cups to Grams Converter
Convert cups, tablespoons and teaspoons to grams for flour, sugar, butter and more.
Choose an ingredient, enter the amount and the unit. A cup of flour does not weigh the same as a cup of sugar, so the converter uses the weight of each ingredient.
US cups, spooned and leveled. 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp = 236.6 ml. 1 oz = 28.35 g.

Why weighing is more accurate
A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from about 120 g to 150 g depending on how it is scooped. Spooning flour into the cup and leveling it gives about 120 g. Packing it down gives more. A kitchen scale removes the guesswork, which matters most in baking.
