Cups to Grams
Per-ingredient cups to grams converters
A focused converter for each ingredient — because 1 cup flour is 120 g but 1 cup brown sugar is 213 g and 1 cup powdered sugar is 113 g. The cup is volume; grams are weight; the ratio between them depends on the ingredient. Pick yours below.

Why per-ingredient pages
One URL per ingredient, one converter per page
Generic cup-to-gram converters force you to pick the ingredient from a dropdown. We do the opposite: the ingredient is the page. Each page bakes the density into the converter, the quick-reference table, and the printable card — so the URL, the search snippet, and the on-page answer all align with the head term you actually searched ("1 cup flour in grams", etc.).
- Fraction-preset chips (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, 2) for the amounts home recipes actually call for.
- Bidirectional — cups to grams and grams to cups, plus tablespoon, teaspoon, and ounce (by weight).
- Convention disclosure on every page (spooned vs scooped, packed vs loose, sifted vs unsifted) — no silent picking when sources disagree.
- Printable card per ingredient (~A6) for fridge or pantry reference.
About the data
Densities are hand-curated from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart and the Doves Farm cups-to-grams table. Each ingredient page lists its specific sources and the audit notes. When the two charts disagree by more than 5% (flour scooped vs spooned, brown sugar packed vs loose, powdered sugar sifted vs unsifted) both conventions are shown on-page.
The pilot covers 5 baking staples. The Phase 2 expansion list (water, milk, cocoa powder, honey, oats, almond flour, bread flour, cake flour, cream cheese, cornstarch, chocolate chips, oil) is gated on at least 2 of the 5 pilot pages reaching top-30 within 6 weeks of indexing.
