Grams to Cups: How Many Grams in a Cup?

So you can convert just about anything from cups to grams - by Lottie Dalziel

Grams to Cups: How Many Grams in a Cup?

Have your scales run out of battery or on the other hand, you can’t find your measuring cup. Never fear! With these handy conversion charts, you’re able to easily convert grams to cups. Here is your one-stop shop on the different metrics used in cooking but most importantly how many grams are in a cup.

The Difference Between An American and An Australian Cup

Not many Australians know, but one cup US in volume is equal to 0.95 cups in Australian recipes, so when you are cooking an American recipe, you need to slightly reduce the quantity you’re using.

The Standard Australian Cup

A standard cup in both Australia and New Zealand is equal to 250ml, therefore the following can be determined.

Metric Cups and Spoons

Cups

Grams

1 cup

250g

3/4 cup

1/2 cup

125g

1/3 cup

80g

1/4 cup

60g

1 tablespoon

20g

1 teaspoon

5g

One dessertspoon is the equivalent of two teaspoons.

Unfortunately, when converting ingredients from grams to cups it isn’t that simple. For example, one cup of butter will weigh more than one cup of quinoa flakes. The table below will help you convert a couple of the most common recipe ingredients.
