Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of flour?
About 120 g for all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled. Scooping packs more into the cup and can land closer to 140 g.
How many grams is 1 cup of sugar?
About 200 g for granulated sugar. Packed brown sugar is heavier, around 220 g per cup.
Why isn’t 1 cup always the same grams?
Cups measure volume; grams measure mass. Flour packs differently than sugar or honey, so each ingredient needs its own density.
