Cups to Grams Converter
Turn cup measurements into precise grams so you can bake with a kitchen scale. Works with fractions like ⅓ or 0.75 cups.
Switch from cups to a kitchen scale
Many bakers prefer weighing ingredients because it removes the guesswork of how tightly a cup is filled. If your recipe lists cups but you want to use a scale, enter the cup amount above and choose the ingredient. You can type decimals such as 0.5 or 1.25, or tap a common fraction.
Remember that a cup of a dense ingredient weighs much more than a cup of a light one. One cup of butter is about 227 g, while one cup of rolled oats is only about 90 g.
Example: 1½ cups sugar × 200 g = 300 g
