What are grams?Grams (abbreviated as "g") are metric units of weight to measure ingredients in the metric system. 1 g =100 milligrams (mg) = 1/1000 kilogram (kg). Other useful conversion factors are:
Gram is the most widely used unit for non-liquid ingredients in cooking and grocery shopping worldwide. A few countries, such as the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia, still use the Imperial measurement system instead of the metric one. Or, in other words, how much is a cup in grams? It is a good question, but cups and grams are not interchangeable units. You need to know what ingredient you will convert to get the exact number of grams in one cup. This is because one cup of each ingredient has different weights. For example, a cup of granulated sugar equals 200 g, while one cup of all-purpose flour equals 125 g. There is no single gram equivalent for a cup because the formula considers the density of the ingredient. Use the conversion tables below to help you with converting the most popular ingredients from ⅛, ¼, ⅓, ½, ⅔, and ¾ cups to grams. How to convert cups to gramsSince one cup of granulated sugar equals 200 g, to convert cups to grams, multiply the number of cups by 200, where 200 is a conversion factor for granulated sugar: the cups x 200. For all-purpose flour, where one cup equals 125 g of flour, the formula will look like this: the cups x 125. This principle should be applied to other cooking and baking ingredients. So let's have a look at a few examples. How many grams are in 2 cups of granulated sugar?2 cups x 200 = 400 g, so there are 400 grams in 2 cups of granulated sugar. How many grams are in 2 cups of flour?2 cups x 125 = 250 g, so there are 250 grams in 2 cups of flour.

Notes:
There are a number of tools that you need to measure ingredients accurately and precisely. These include a digital scale, measuring cups and spoons for dry goods, and liquid measuring cups. The most important thing in baking, though, isn't just one tool but a set of right baking tools that work together. Kitchen scaleI primarily create and make recipes measuring ingredients with a kitchen scale. Why? A food scale provides the most accurate, error-free results and uses different units such as fluid ounces, dry ounces, milliliters, and grams. And one of the most important things is that a digital scale is mess-free: no cups or bowls to rinse and wash out. A kitchen scale I own is from Escali. It has a glass surface that is leakproof and easy to clean. The scale gives weight readings in 0.1 oz. (1 g) increments. And I love the colors in Escali scales! You can choose between various hues, so no matter your taste, there is an option for you. Moreover, if you ever need to convert grams to cups, the grams to cups conversion charts will help you. Measuring cupsOne of the best dry measuring cups in the market today is from OXO. They are heavy-duty and can hold together with a magnet to keep them from toppling over when you store them. They also sit flat on the counter to make them easy to pour ingredients into without any risk of tipping over. Remember that you can't use paper cups or your favorite coffee ceramic cup to measure ingredients. Measuring spoonsI love this set of stainless steel measuring spoons I bought on Amazon long ago. If you want to purchase a 9-piece set of measuring cups and spoons, here is the one I own. Liquid measuring cupsTo measure liquids, you need a set of glass Pyrex measuring cups. It is always ideal to have a one-cup liquid and a two-cup liquid measuring cup. I also love this liquid measuring cup made of BPA-free plastic and this cute measuring shot glass.
