THE THINKING BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Good conversions start
with a good reference.

Volume measures space. Grams measure mass. To move between them, we use a reference for the ingredient and the way it’s prepared.

Choose your ingredient, check the condition, and match your cup standard. Keep the decimal for precision; use the fraction for a practical scoop.

A small habit that helps: spoon flour into your cup and level it gently. Scooping straight from the bag can pack in more than you intended.

A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS

Kitchen questions,
cleared up.

Why do grams to cups depend on the ingredient?

A cup measures space, not weight. Flour contains air between particles, while a dense syrup fills that same space differently. Choose the ingredient and condition before converting.

Which cup standard should I use?

Follow the recipe’s stated standard. US customary is about 236.59 mL, US legal is 240 mL, metric is 250 mL and imperial is about 284.13 mL.

Can I enter fractions?

Yes. Enter 1/2, 1 1/2 or ½. Results show a decimal and a nearby kitchen fraction.

Are these exact measurements?

Fixed unit conversions use defined factors. Ingredient volume conversions are estimates because packing, moisture, grind and preparation vary.
