How to Convert Grams to Cups

Converting grams to cups isn't as simple as using a single formula. That's because cups measure volume while grams measure weight.

Different ingredients have different densities. For example, a cup of flour weighs about 125 grams, while a cup of sugar weighs about 200 grams. This is why you need to know the specific ingredient to get an accurate conversion.
