200g All-purpose flour to cups

Converting grams to cups isn't as simple as converting length or weight units, because a cup is a measure of volume while a gram is a measure of mass — and how much a cup of something weighs depends entirely on what that something is. A cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey, even though both fill the same 240 ml cup, because flour is light and airy while honey is dense and heavy.

This calculator solves that by using ingredient-specific density values. Select the ingredient you're measuring — flour, sugar, butter, rice, and more — enter the weight in grams, and it divides by that ingredient's grams-per-cup figure to give you the equivalent volume in cups. The densities used here follow standard baking references, such as 120 g per cup for all-purpose flour and 200 g per cup for granulated sugar.

This conversion matters most for baking, where US recipes are usually written in cups and tablespoons while European and many international recipes use grams. Baking is also more sensitive to precise measurements than general cooking, since the ratio of flour to liquid to leavening affects texture directly — so getting the gram-to-cup conversion right for the specific ingredient you're using genuinely matters.

Keep in mind that how an ingredient is packed into the cup also affects its real-world weight — a "packed" cup of brown sugar weighs more than a loosely spooned one, and flour scooped straight from the bag packs down more than flour spooned into the cup and leveled off. The gram figures used here reflect standard preparation methods, but if precision matters for your recipe, a kitchen scale that measures directly in grams will always be more accurate than converting to cups.
