Yummly

Finally after four years I can check something off my to do list: make a cups to gram conversion chart for common cooking ingredients!

As an American living in the UK I’ve had my fair share of headaches as I convert ingredients to and from the metric system. At this point I’ve gotten pretty good at converting things over in my head, but there are still SO many that I’m constantly having to look up.

So for your sake and mine I’ve compiled a list of some of the most widely used ingredients converted from cups to grams to ounces (and sometimes millilitres!).

Cups to Grams Disclaimer

The frustrating thing about converting between cups to grams is that you’ll often find different results for how much something weighs based on where you look. This is because how you measure out a cup can look very different depending on your method.

Think about brown sugar: in recipes using cups you’ll often see brown sugar followed by ‘tightly packed’ or ‘lightly packed’. A tightly packed cup of brown sugar will weigh more than a lightly packed cup because there’s more in it – it’s got more density!

These amounts are based off of what I get in my own kitchen with my kitchen scale. I tried to make sure my amounts listed are as accurate as possible, but sometimes things might just be a little bit off. That being said I did cross check all of my amounts with online results to come up with the most universal result.

How to find what you’re looking for

As of now I’ve organised everything alphabetically so you can just scroll until you find what you’re looking for. I recommend using a search shortcut to search the ingredient specifically:

Press. Ctrl + F (Windows) or ⌘ Command + F (Mac) and then type in your ingredient in the search box.

Feel free to bookmark this page for future use. I’ll be adding more ingredients and conversions all the time. If you have any requests for conversions you’d like to see just let me know in the comments and I’ll add a chart for you!
