Grams to Cups Converter
Convert grams to cups for cooking and baking ingredients. Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the result depends on which ingredient you are measuring.
For example: 100 grams is approximately 0.83 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of sugar or 0.46 cups of olive oil.

Common Gram Amounts in Cups
There is no universal answer to questions such as “how many cups is 100 grams?” You must first select the ingredient.
| Grams | Flour | Sugar | Butter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 g | 0.42 cup | 0.25 cup | 0.22 cup |
| 100 g | 0.83 cup | 0.50 cup | 0.44 cup |
| 125 g | 1.04 cups | 0.63 cup | 0.55 cup |
| 150 g | 1.25 cups | 0.75 cup | 0.66 cup |
| 200 g | 1.67 cups | 1 cup | 0.88 cup |
| 250 g | 2.08 cups | 1.25 cups | 1.10 cups |
| 500 g | 4.17 cups | 2.5 cups | 2.20 cups |
How to Convert Grams to Cups
To calculate cups from grams, divide the ingredient weight by the number of grams in one cup:
Cups = grams ÷ grams per cup
For example, one cup of flour weighs approximately 120 grams. Therefore:
100 ÷ 120 = approximately 0.83 cups of flour.
The converter performs this calculation automatically using the selected ingredient’s approximate density.
Why Weight Is Better for Baking
A kitchen scale normally provides more consistent results than measuring dry ingredients by volume. Flour can become compacted in a cup, while weighing 100 grams gives the same amount regardless of how it was scooped.
Tips for Accurate Conversions
- Select the exact ingredient before converting.
- Check whether the recipe uses a 240 ml cooking cup or another cup standard.
- Use the same ingredient state specified by the recipe, such as melted or solid butter.
- Use a kitchen scale when precision is important.
