Stop guessing! Use the handy chart below—or our Kitchen Conversion Calculator—to convert cups to grams in seconds. We assume water‑like density (1 g ≈ 1 ml) for most liquids. For dry ingredients, see the density note after the table.

Why cup‑to‑gram conversions vary
Unlike liquids, dry ingredients have different densities. One cup of flour (≈ 120 g) is far lighter than one cup of honey (≈ 340 g). For ultra‑precision, weigh ingredients or select the ingredient in our calculator.
Mental‑math tip
Need roughly grams in your head? Remember ¼ cup ≈ 60 g. Scale up/down from there.
