Questions people ask
How many grams is a cup of flour?
About 120–125 g for all-purpose flour, depending on how densely it is scooped. This tool uses 125 g per cup.
Why is a cup of sugar heavier than a cup of flour?
Sugar crystals pack tightly with little trapped air, while flour holds air between particles, so the same cup volume weighs more for sugar (200 g vs 125 g).
Should I measure by weight or volume?
Weight, whenever possible. Digital scales remove the scooping variation that makes cup measurements differ by up to 20%.
