Cups, spoons and grams

Choose the ingredient and the size of your cup. The conversion updates as you type.

How to convert cups and tablespoons to grams

  1. 1Choose the ingredient: a cup doesn't weigh the same for flour, sugar, oil or milk.
  2. 2Enter the amount, pick the unit you're converting from and choose the one you want to convert to.
  3. 3Use a 240 or 250 ml cup, depending on your set of measures.

An example

As a reference, a level cup of all-purpose wheat flour is roughly 120 g when the cup is 240 ml. The value changes with the ingredient and with how you fill the cup.

What to keep in mind

If a recipe already gives grams, go with the scale. Volume-to-weight equivalences are approximate and can vary with brand, grind, moisture and packing.
