Cup to Gram Converter

About This Tool

The Cup to Gram Converter enables accurate weight-based ingredient quantities from volume measurements. It uses either a user-specified grams-per-cup value or an internal density table to estimate grams from cups. By inputting an ingredient and the volume in cups, users receive a precise gram value for that ingredient, enabling accurate scaling, nutrition labeling, and recipe adaptation. Conceptually, grams per cup derive from ingredient density; if a user supplies grams_per_cup, the calculation is straightforward: grams = cups × grams_per_cup. If not provided, the tool uses density values times the standard cup size (US) to estimate grams. The tool supports common ingredients and allows overrides for brand-specific densities. Use cases span home cooking, nutrition tracking, recipe development, and education in measurement theory. The solution differentiates itself by combining density-based defaults with explicit user overrides for maximum precision across a broad ingredient set.
