To convert grams to cups for different ingredients. The conversion depends on the density of the ingredient you’re measuring, which means the weight of a specific volume can vary. Here are some common ingredients and their approximate conversions from grams to cups:
1. All-purpose Flour
- Density: ~120 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 120 grams
- 400 grams of flour = 400 ÷ 120 = 3.33 cups
2. Granulated Sugar
- Density: ~200 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 200 grams
- 400 grams of sugar = 400 ÷ 200 = 2 cups
3. Butter (unsalted)
- Density: ~227 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 227 grams
- 400 grams of butter = 400 ÷ 227 = 1.76 cups
4. Milk
- Density: ~240 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 240 grams
- 400 grams of milk = 400 ÷ 240 = 1.67 cups
5. Rice (uncooked)
- Density: ~185 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 185 grams
- 400 grams of rice = 400 ÷ 185 = 2.16 cups
6. Honey
- Density: ~340 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 340 grams
- 400 grams of honey = 400 ÷ 340 = 1.18 cups
7. Oats (rolled or old-fashioned)
- Density: ~90 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 90 grams
- 400 grams of oats = 400 ÷ 90 = 4.44 cups
8. Water
- Density: ~240 grams per cup (same as milk).
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 240 grams
- 400 grams of water = 400 ÷ 240 = 1.67 cups
9. Cocoa Powder
- Density: ~85 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 85 grams
- 400 grams of cocoa powder = 400 ÷ 85 = 4.71 cups
10. Chocolate Chips
- Density: ~170 grams per cup.
- Conversion:
- 1 cup = 170 grams
- 400 grams of chocolate chips = 400 ÷ 170 = 2.35 cups
