Cups to Grams Converter

How to Calculate Cups to Grams Conversions

Converting cups to grams is essential in cooking and baking, especially when working with recipes from different regions. This conversion ensures precise measurements for consistent results.

Cups to Grams Conversion Formula

The basic formula for converting cups to grams is:

\[Grams = Cups \times Density\]

Where:

• Grams is the resulting weight in grams
• Cups is the volume in cups
• Density is the ingredient-specific density in grams per cup

Calculation Steps

1. Identify the ingredient and its density in grams per cup
2. Multiply the cup value by the density
3. The result is the weight in grams

Example Calculation

Let's convert 2 cups of all-purpose flour to grams:

1. Identify the density of all-purpose flour: 125 g/cup
2. Multiply the cup value by the density: \[2 \text{ cups} \times 125 \text{ g/cup} = 250 \text{ grams}\]

Therefore, 2 cups of all-purpose flour is equal to 250 grams.
