Convert between cups, grams, milliliters, tablespoons and ounces for 30+ ingredients — plus scale any recipe up or down.
Densities are averages for common ingredients; natural variation applies. 1 US cup = 236.6 ml, 1 tbsp = 14.8 ml, 1 tsp = 4.93 ml.
Cups to grams: why it depends on the ingredient
A cup is a volume measure, so its weight in grams depends on density: 1 cup of flour weighs about 125 g, while 1 cup of sugar weighs about 200 g and 1 cup of water weighs 237 g. This converter uses per-ingredient densities so your baking measurements stay accurate.
