Measuring notes

  • Spoon flour into the measure and level it without packing. Pack brown sugar; use powdered sugar unsifted.
  • The oat and rice rows are for dry, uncooked ingredients. The oil row is specifically olive oil, and the milk row is fluid whole milk, using a 3.3%-fat reference.
  • Read decimal cups as decimals: 0.5 means ½ cup, while 0.25 means ¼ cup. A rounded answer close to a familiar fraction is not always an exact match.
  • Follow your recipe's own gram measurements when available. If you have a scale, weigh the requested amount directly.

How to use the chart

Choose the ingredient row, then move across to the gram amount in your recipe. For example, 250g of all-purpose flour is about 2.08 cups, while 250g of granulated sugar is about 1.26 cups.

The ingredient matters just as much as the weight. Keep the preparation consistent with the row: packed brown sugar and loosely filled brown sugar do not have the same reference weight per cup.

For an amount not shown, use the grams-to-cups calculator. It also provides approximate cup-and-spoon suggestions when a decimal cup amount is awkward to measure.

What if I use a metric cup?

This printable chart stays on the US Customary setting. A 250mL metric cup holds a different volume, so the same weight gives a different cup amount. Select Metric in the calculator rather than applying these numbers to a 250mL cup.

Our cup-size guide explains the settings and spoon differences. The methodology explains the calculation and rounding rules behind the chart.

Need a different view?

For a single weight, use the 50 grams to cups or 100 grams to cups chart. Select an ingredient name in the table for its full conversion guide and measuring advice.

If your recipe starts with cups and you need a weight, use the cups-to-grams converter.
