How to Convert Cups to Grams
To convert cups to grams, find the weight of one cup of your ingredient and multiply it by the number of cups.
Grams = cups × grams per cupGrams = 0.5 × 125 = 62.5 g (all-purpose flour)Therefore, 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour equals 62.5 grams.
0.5 Cup of Flour in Grams
For all-purpose flour, our reference is 125 grams per US cup.
0.5 × 125 = 62.5 gSo 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour is 62.5 grams.
0.5 Cup of Sugar in Grams
Granulated sugar weighs 200 grams per US cup.
0.5 × 200 = 100 gTherefore, 0.5 cup of granulated sugar equals 100 grams.
0.5 Cup of Butter in Grams
Using 227 grams for one cup of butter:
0.5 × 227 = 113.5 gSo 0.5 cup of butter equals 113.5 grams.
Half a Cup to Grams for Baking
Half a cup is one of the most common recipe amounts, and its gram value is worth memorising per ingredient: flour 62.5 grams, sugar 100 grams, butter 113.5 grams. When a recipe is scaled, these half-cup values let you convert quickly without reaching for the calculator every time.
Why Grams Have Different Cup Values
Cups measure how much space an ingredient occupies, while grams measure how heavy that ingredient is. Different foods pack different amounts of mass into the same volume, which is why a conversion must always include an ingredient.
How to Measure More Accurately
For dry ingredients such as flour, spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off, and do not press it firmly unless the recipe asks you to pack it. For baking, a digital kitchen scale is usually the simplest way to reproduce a gram measurement consistently.
US Cups vs Metric Cups
Our main conversions use a US customary cup of 236.588 ml. Other cup standards change the grams-per-cup value, so the calculator above adjusts the result when you switch standards.
| Cup Standard | 1 Cup Volume |
|---|---|
| US Customary | 236.588 ml |
| US Legal | 240 ml |
| Metric | 250 ml |
