Convert dry measurements between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms, and milliliters. Use this converter for flour, sugar, rice, oats, cocoa powder, salt, spices, dry baking ingredients, and recipe scaling.
1 cup:
16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons
All-purpose flour:
1 US cup ≈ 120 grams
Granulated sugar:

Rolled oats:
1 US cup ≈ 90 grams
Dry measurement conversions are useful for baking, cooking, flour measurements, sugar measurements, rice, oats, cocoa powder, salt, spices, recipe scaling, international recipes, and converting cups to grams or grams to cups.
Use this converter as a practical estimate. Dry ingredient weights can vary by brand, packing, humidity, sifting, grinding size, and measuring method.
Your result shows the entered dry measurement converted into the selected unit. The converter also displays cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, grams, ounces, pounds, and kilograms for quick recipe reference.
Dry volume-to-weight conversions are ingredient-specific. One cup of flour does not weigh the same as one cup of sugar, rice, oats, cocoa powder, or salt.
There are 16 tablespoons in 1 US cup.
It depends on the ingredient. One US cup is about 120 grams of all-purpose flour, 200 grams of granulated sugar, 185 grams of uncooked rice, or 90 grams of rolled oats.
They are the same volume in US recipes, but dry ingredients are often better measured by weight for accuracy.
Cups measure volume and grams measure weight. Different dry ingredients have different densities, so they weigh different amounts per cup.
For casual cooking, cups are usually fine. For baking, grams are usually more consistent.
