Cooking Measurement Converter
Generic converters treat a cup of flour and a cup of honey as the same weight. They're not — this one adjusts for the ingredient you actually pick.

How to convert cups to grams
- Choose the ingredient, such as plain flour, sugar or butter.
- Enter the amount and its unit: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams or ounces.
- Read it in every other unit, and click Copy result.
Why ingredient matters
A cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 120g. A cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200g. A cup of honey weighs closer to 340g. Volume-to-weight conversion depends entirely on density, so a single "1 cup = X grams" rule is wrong for anything except the one ingredient it was measured for. This tool uses commonly published density values per ingredient rather than one universal conversion.
Values are approximate and meant for everyday cooking, not laboratory precision — factors like sifting, packing, and humidity shift real-world weight slightly.
Questions about cooking conversions
How many grams is a cup of flour?
About 120 g of plain (all-purpose) flour. A cup of granulated sugar is about 200 g, and a cup of honey about 340 g.
Why does the ingredient matter?
A cup measures volume, but recipes in grams measure weight, and ingredients weigh different amounts for the same volume. One rule for everything gives wrong answers.
How big is a cup?
A US cup is about 237 ml. Australian and some UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, a slight difference that rarely matters.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
Three. A tablespoon is about 15 ml and a teaspoon about 5 ml.
