The conversion of grams to cups requires knowing the density of the ingredient being measured because the cup is a unit of volume and the gram is a unit of weight. To give an example
100 grams of flour fills more cups than 100 grams of honey because flour is less dense. All conversions on this page use researched ingredient density figures.
Below you will find charts for grams to cup measurements for common baking ingredients. Note that all of the measurements listed in the sections assume the ingredient is being spooned into the cup. If you're using the 'dip and sweep' methodconsider
