Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 100 grams?
It depends on the ingredient. 100 grams of flour is about ⅚ cup, 100 grams of sugar is about ½ cup, and 100 grams of butter is just under ½ cup. Use the converter and select your ingredient for an exact figure.
Why can't I just convert grams to cups directly?
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume. The bridge between them is density, which is different for every ingredient. That is why a single 'grams to cups' number is always wrong unless it names the ingredient.
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?
Not quite. A US cup is about 237 ml while a metric cup is 250 ml. CookConvert uses the US cup, the most common standard in recipes that list cups.
