Common Ingredient Weights
Approximate weights for common cooking ingredients measured by US volume.

These values are approximate cooking conversions. Ingredient density, preparation, and packing can affect actual weight.
Cooking Measurement Conversions
Convert common cooking measurements between US customary, imperial, and metric units. The converter supports volume, weight, and cooking temperatures.
Convert Cups to Grams
Converting cups to grams requires knowing the ingredient because different foods have different densities. For example, a cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of honey. Select an ingredient when converting between cooking volume and weight.
Convert US Recipes to Metric
Paste an entire recipe into the recipe converter to convert common US cooking measurements into metric quantities. Ingredient-aware conversions can convert volume measurements such as cups and tablespoons into approximate gram weights.
US to Metric Cooking Measurements
Common US cooking measurements include teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. Metric cooking measurements commonly use milliliters, liters, grams, and kilograms.

How do I convert cups to grams?
Cups measure volume while grams measure mass, so the ingredient must be known. Select the ingredient in the converter to get an approximate weight.
Are cups to grams conversions exact?
No. Ingredient density and measuring technique can affect the actual weight. Volume-to-weight cooking conversions should be treated as approximate.
