Formula
cups = grams ÷ gramsPerCup
tablespoons = cups × 16
teaspoons = tablespoons × 3
Example: 150 g all-purpose flour → 150 ÷ 125 = 1.2 cups → 19.2 tbsp → 57.6 tsp.
Why density matters: Sugar is heavier than flour, so the same weight yields fewer cups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my measurements differ from the converter?
Ingredient packing, humidity, and brand variations can cause small differences. Use the results as a solid baseline and adjust if needed.
Can I input cups and get grams?
This page focuses on grams to cups, but you can reverse the math by multiplying cups by grams-per-cup to get grams.
What about other ingredients?
Choose the closest match. For specialty items, weigh one cup and divide by the number of cups in your recipe to find grams-per-cup.
Is scoop-and-sweep or spoon-and-level assumed?
The converter assumes spoon-and-level for flour and spooned sugar, which aligns with most professional test kitchens.
