Gram Weights And Equivalents
About Recipe Gram Conversions
This tool is used for cooking and recipe conversions. When you convert from grams or ounces (weight) to teaspoons, tablespoons or cups (volume), you are converting from a weight to a volume. This simple calculation may not be highly accurate in many cases. This should not be used for measuring medicine or any form of critical science. Increasingly in the U.S. we encounter foods weighed in "grams" and we still live in a "teaspoons and measuring cup" country. Sometimes we just need an estimated amount for cooking.
Gram To Cups Conversion Chart
This chart is prepared by accurately converting grams to cups based on cup volume. We see searches all the time where someone searches for things like "300 grams to cups" when in fact there is no way to answer that unless you know "a cup of what?" For example; 200 of grams of butter is equal to a cup and 300 grams of sugar is a cup.
The chart below shows accurately grams to cups, teaspoons, tablespoons and ounces for some commonly used ingredients.
