In many recipes happen to find the quantity of ingredients in grams, that can be a problem!

How much is the amount of a cup, a spoon and a teaspoon?

1 cup = 237 ml
1/2 cup = 118,5 ml
1/3 cup = 79 ml
1/4 cup = 59 ml = 4 tablespoons (tbsp)
1 tablespoon (tbsp) = 15 ml = 3 teaspoons (tsp)
1 teaspoon = 5 ml (tsp)
1 fluid ounce = 30 ml
1 US quart = 1 l

Then being a unit of measurement of volume, to each ingredient, having a different specific weight, will correspond to a different weight.

How then convert grams in cups?

Let’s give you some examples:

1 cup flour = 130 grams
1 cup whole wheat flour = 150 grams
1 cup cornmeal = 180 grams
1 cup potato starch = 140 grams
1 cup cornstarch = 140 grams
Cocoa 1 cup = 90 grams

1 cup granulated sugar = 200 grams
1 cup powdered sugar = 115 grams
1 cup brown sugar = 210 grams
Honey 1 cup = 340 grams
1 cup = 330 grams jam

1 cup uncooked basmati rice 1 = 90 grams
1 cup uncooked rice = 195 grams

1 cup oatmeal = 85 grams
1 cup breadcrumbs = 150 grams

1 cup grated cheese = 115 grams
1 cup butter / margarine = 225 grams
