Convert cups to grams for precise baking and cooking measurements
Formula: Grams = Cups × 125g/cup
1 cups × 125 = 125g
| Cups | Grams (g) |
|---|---|
| 0.25 cups | 31g |
| 0.33 cups | 41g |
| 0.5 cups | 63g |
| 0.67 cups | 84g |
| 0.75 cups | 94g |
| 1 cup | 125g |
| 1.25 cups | 156g |
| 1.5 cups | 188g |
| 2 cups | 250g |
| 2.5 cups | 313g |
| 3 cups | 375g |
| 4 cups | 500g |
Converting cups to grams is essential for following recipes accurately, especially when working with international recipes or scaling recipes up or down. Weight measurements eliminate the variability that comes with volume measurements, ensuring consistent results every time.
Professional bakers and pastry chefs worldwide prefer using grams because:
It depends on the ingredient. For water, 1 cup is about 237g. For all-purpose flour, 1 cup is 125g. For granulated sugar, 1 cup is 200g. Always use ingredient-specific conversions for best results.
While you can use conversion charts, a digital kitchen scale is the most accurate tool for measuring ingredients by weight. Scales are affordable and provide consistent results, making them essential for serious bakers.
Variations occur due to different measuring techniques (scooped vs. spooned flour), ingredient brands, and moisture content. The conversions provided here are industry standards used by professional bakers.
Yes, but remember that 1 cup equals different weights for different liquids. Water is 237g, milk is 245g, and oil is 218g per cup. For liquids, volume measurements (cups, mL) are often preferred.
