1 Cup to Grams by Ingredient

There is no single gram equivalent for 1 cup across every ingredient. Choose an ingredient because density changes the conversion.

Decimals and fractions accepted
1 US cup of all-purpose flour equals120 grams
  • 4.233 ounces

Ingredient weights are practical reference values for one US customary cup. Brand, grind, packing, and measuring technique can change the actual weight.

Why the result changes

Cups measure volume and grams measure weight. Each ingredient has a different density, so this amount produces a different result for flour, sugar, butter, milk, and other ingredients.
