Cups to grams, for your ingredient
A cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very differently. Pick the ingredient, enter the amount, and read it in any unit.
Weights are typical averages (US cup, 240 ml). Packing and brand change them by a few percent, so for baking a kitchen scale is more exact.

Made from a blend of soft and hard wheat with about 10 to 12% protein, it suits cookies, pancakes, sauces and most everyday baking.
Measuring tips for all-purpose flour
- Fluff or whisk it before spooning, because it compacts in the bag.
- Sift only if the recipe says so, since sifting changes the weight of a cup.
- Store it airtight to keep out moisture and pests.
What can replace all-purpose flour?
