The conversion from grams to cups depends on the ingredient you’re measuring because different substances have different densities.
For example:
- Flour: 100 grams of all-purpose flour is approximately 3/4 cup.
- Sugar: 100 grams of granulated sugar is approximately 1/2 cup.
- Butter: 100 grams of butter is about 1/2 cup.
1. Flour (All-purpose)
- 100 grams = approximately 3/4 cup
- Flour is light and can vary depending on how it’s measured. Sifting or spooning flour into the cup can affect the measurement.
2. Sugar (Granulated)
- 100 grams = approximately 1/2 cup
- Granulated sugar has a density of around 200 grams per cup.
3. Butter
- 100 grams = approximately 1/2 cup
- Butter is typically measured by weight, and 100 grams equals about half a standard U.S. cup.
