Why do cups to grams conversions vary by ingredient?
A cup is a measure of volume, not weight. Different ingredients have different densities — a cup of flour weighs about 120g while a cup of sugar weighs about 200g. Using gram measurements in baking gives more consistent results since weight is precise regardless of how tightly packed your ingredient is.
How accurate is this converter?
Our conversion values are based on standard USDA food density data and widely accepted baking references. For most home baking, these values will give excellent results. Professional bakers always weigh ingredients for maximum precision.
Should I scoop or spoon flour into the cup?
The "spoon and level" method (spooning flour into the cup and leveling with a knife) is standard. Our gram values assume this method. Scooping directly from the bag can pack flour, adding up to 30g more per cup — another reason weighing in grams is preferred.
