Convert grams to cups for common cooking and baking ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, milk, water, rice, oats, cocoa, honey, oil, and more. Use this converter when a recipe lists grams but you need a cup measurement.
All-purpose flour:
120 grams ≈ 1 US cup
Granulated sugar:
200 grams ≈ 1 US cup
Butter:
227 grams ≈ 1 US cup
Water:
236.59 grams ≈ 1 US cup
Grams to cups conversions are useful for baking, cooking, international recipes, meal prep, ingredient scaling, flour measurements, sugar measurements, butter conversions, and turning kitchen scale weights into cup measurements.
Use this converter as a practical estimate. Exact cup amounts can vary by brand, packing, sifting, humidity, and how the ingredient is measured.
Your result estimates the cup amount for the selected ingredient based on the grams entered. The converter also displays cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters, ounces, and pounds for quick recipe reference.
Unlike simple weight conversions, grams to cups is ingredient-specific. 100 grams of flour does not equal the same cup amount as 100 grams of sugar, butter, milk, or oil.
It depends on the ingredient. 100 grams is about 0.83 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, or 0.42 cups of water.
120 grams of all-purpose flour is commonly estimated as about 1 US cup.
200 grams of granulated sugar is commonly estimated as about 1 US cup.
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume. Different ingredients have different densities, and packing or scooping can change the amount in a cup.
Grams are usually better for baking because weighing ingredients is more consistent than measuring by volume.
