Pick the ingredient — because a cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very differently.

Why the ingredient matters: cups measure volume and grams measure weight,
so the conversion depends on density. A cup of all-purpose flour is about 125 g, but a cup of
honey is around 340 g. Densities here are common averages — for baking, a kitchen scale is
always the most accurate.
How to convert grams to cups
Divide the weight in grams by the ingredient's grams-per-cup. For example, 250 g of
all-purpose flour ÷ 125 g per cup = 2 cups. To go from cups to grams, multiply
instead. Tablespoons are 1⁄16 of a cup and teaspoons are 1⁄48 of a cup.
