Cups to grams
Converting cups to grams is the easiest way to get accurate, repeatable baking results. This cups to grams converter works per ingredient, because a cup of flour and a cup of sugar do not weigh the same.
In summary: To convert cups to grams, multiply the number of cups by the ingredient’s weight per cup. For example, 1 cup of all-purpose flour is about 125 g, while 1 cup of granulated sugar is about 200 g.

Why the ingredient matters
A generic converter gets this wrong because density varies. Flour is light and fluffy, but honey is dense and heavy. Therefore Panvert uses a per-ingredient table, so your cups to grams results stay accurate every time.
