The Formula

Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup

Every ingredient has its own grams-per-cup value because weight depends on density. A cup of flour and a cup of honey occupy the same volume but weigh very different amounts.

Flours

Cups	All-Purpose Flour	Whole Wheat Flour	Almond Flour	Cake Flour
¼ cup	31 g	30 g	24 g	29 g
⅓ cup	42 g	40 g	32 g	38 g
½ cup	63 g	60 g	48 g	57 g
⅔ cup	83 g	80 g	64 g	76 g
¾ cup	94 g	90 g	72 g	86 g
1 cup	120 g	120 g	96 g	114 g
1½ cups	180 g	180 g	144 g	171 g
2 cups	240 g	240 g	192 g	228 g

Flour is strongly affected by measuring technique. These figures assume the spoon-and-level method rather than scooping directly from the bag.

Sugars and Sweeteners

Cups	Granulated Sugar	Brown Sugar (Packed)	Powdered Sugar	Honey
¼ cup	50 g	55 g	30 g	85 g
⅓ cup	67 g	73 g	40 g	113 g
½ cup	100 g	110 g	60 g	170 g
⅔ cup	133 g	147 g	80 g	227 g
¾ cup	150 g	165 g	90 g	255 g
1 cup	200 g	220 g	120 g	340 g
1½ cups	300 g	330 g	180 g	510 g
2 cups	400 g	440 g	240 g	680 g

Brown sugar values assume it is firmly packed. A loose cup can weigh substantially less.

Butter, Oils, and Fats

Cups	Butter	Vegetable Oil	Olive Oil	Shortening
¼ cup	57 g	55 g	54 g	51 g
⅓ cup	76 g	73 g	72 g	68 g
½ cup	114 g	109 g	108 g	103 g
⅔ cup	151 g	145 g	144 g	137 g
¾ cup	170 g	164 g	162 g	154 g
1 cup	227 g	218 g	216 g	205 g
1½ cups	341 g	327 g	324 g	308 g
2 cups	454 g	436 g	432 g	410 g

Butter is especially easy to measure in the US because one cup equals two standard sticks.

Dairy and Liquids

Cups	Milk	Heavy Cream	Water	Yogurt
¼ cup	61 g	60 g	59 g	61 g
⅓ cup	82 g	79 g	79 g	82 g
½ cup	123 g	119 g	118 g	123 g
⅔ cup	163 g	159 g	157 g	163 g
¾ cup	184 g	179 g	177 g	184 g
1 cup	245 g	238 g	236 g	245 g
1½ cups	368 g	357 g	354 g	368 g
2 cups	490 g	476 g	472 g	490 g

Liquids are generally more consistent because there is no packing or settling, though cup standards still differ by country.

Grains, Rice, and Pasta

Cups	Uncooked Rice	Rolled Oats	Quinoa	Dry Pasta
¼ cup	46 g	23 g	43 g	25 g
⅓ cup	62 g	30 g	57 g	33 g
½ cup	93 g	45 g	85 g	50 g
⅔ cup	123 g	60 g	113 g	67 g
¾ cup	139 g	68 g	128 g	75 g
1 cup	185 g	90 g	170 g	100 g
1½ cups	278 g	135 g	255 g	150 g
2 cups	370 g	180 g	340 g	200 g

Nuts and Seeds

Cups	Whole Almonds	Walnuts (Chopped)	Sesame Seeds	Peanut Butter
¼ cup	36 g	30 g	36 g	65 g
⅓ cup	48 g	40 g	48 g	86 g
½ cup	72 g	60 g	72 g	129 g
⅔ cup	95 g	80 g	96 g	172 g
¾ cup	107 g	90 g	108 g	194 g
1 cup	143 g	120 g	144 g	258 g
1½ cups	215 g	180 g	216 g	387 g
2 cups	286 g	240 g	288 g	516 g

Baking Staples

Cups	Cocoa Powder	Chocolate Chips	Cornstarch	Baking Powder
¼ cup	22 g	43 g	32 g	55 g
⅓ cup	29 g	57 g	43 g	73 g
½ cup	43 g	85 g	64 g	110 g
⅔ cup	57 g	113 g	85 g	147 g
¾ cup	65 g	128 g	96 g	165 g
1 cup	86 g	170 g	128 g	220 g
1½ cups	129 g	255 g	192 g	330 g
2 cups	172 g	340 g	256 g	440 g

Cheese

Cups	Parmesan (Grated)	Cheddar (Shredded)	Cream Cheese	Feta (Crumbled)
¼ cup	25 g	28 g	58 g	38 g
⅓ cup	33 g	38 g	77 g	50 g
½ cup	50 g	57 g	116 g	75 g
⅔ cup	67 g	75 g	155 g	100 g
¾ cup	75 g	85 g	174 g	113 g
1 cup	100 g	113 g	232 g	150 g
1½ cups	150 g	170 g	348 g	225 g
2 cups	200 g	226 g	464 g	300 g

Grated and shredded cheeses vary with cut size and packing, so these are practical reference values.

Dried Herbs and Spices

Cups	Ground Cinnamon	Ground Cumin	Paprika	Garlic Powder
¼ cup	31 g	26 g	27 g	38 g
⅓ cup	42 g	35 g	36 g	51 g
½ cup	63 g	52 g	55 g	76 g
⅔ cup	83 g	69 g	73 g	101 g
¾ cup	94 g	78 g	82 g	114 g
1 cup	125 g	104 g	109 g	152 g
1½ cups	188 g	156 g	164 g	228 g
2 cups	250 g	208 g	218 g	304 g

Spices are usually measured by teaspoon or tablespoon, but full-cup values help when scaling bulk blends.

Condiments and Sauces

Cups	Mayonnaise	Ketchup	Soy Sauce	Peanut Butter
¼ cup	58 g	68 g	64 g	65 g
⅓ cup	77 g	91 g	85 g	86 g
½ cup	116 g	136 g	128 g	129 g
⅔ cup	155 g	181 g	170 g	172 g
¾ cup	174 g	204 g	191 g	194 g
1 cup	232 g	272 g	255 g	258 g
1½ cups	348 g	408 g	383 g	387 g
2 cups	464 g	544 g	510 g	516 g

Thick condiments behave more like dense ingredients than thin liquids, so their cup weights can be surprisingly high.

Why convert cups to grams?

Grams do not shift with measuring technique.
Scaling recipes is cleaner in grams.
Many international and professional recipes are written in grams.
A scale lets you build a recipe in one bowl with fewer measuring tools.

A note on cup sizes

This page uses the US customary cup, approximately 236.6 mL. Metric cups can be 250 mL, so check a recipe's country and measurement system when precision matters.

The Bottom Line

Cups are convenient, but the weight behind a cup depends on what fills it and how it was measured. When a recipe's outcome matters, convert to grams and weigh directly.

Grams To Cups: Ingredients

Grams-to-cups conversion isn't only useful for oats. Each of these has its own weight-per-cup because densities differ:
