1 cups = 236.6 ml. Grams depend on the ingredient's density, so a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey. For dry ingredients, weighing is the most accurate method.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tablespoons are in a cup?

There are 16 tablespoons in a US cup. A cup also equals 48 teaspoons, 8 fluid ounces, or about 236.6 millilitres. One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons. This converter handles all of these instantly for any amount.

How do I convert cups to grams?

Cups measure volume and grams measure weight, so the conversion depends on the ingredient's density. One cup of all-purpose flour is about 125 g, one cup of granulated sugar about 200 g, and one cup of water about 237 g. Pick the ingredient in this converter and it applies the right density.

Why is weighing more accurate than cups?

Scooping dry ingredients into a cup packs them differently every time, so the same "cup" of flour can vary by 20% or more. Weighing in grams removes that inconsistency, which is why professional and baking recipes usually give weights. This tool converts your cup measures to grams so you can weigh instead.
