Plain flour converter

Scooping plain flour straight from the bag can compact it. Use this reference to compare grams and cups, then keep the way you fill the cup consistent.

Plain flour

100 g ≈ ⅞ cup (exact: 0.83 cups)

Grams	Cups	Ounces
1 g	1 g (< ½ tsp)	0.04
5 g	≈ 2 tsp	0.18
10 g	≈ 1 ¼ tbsp	0.35
25 g	≈ ¼ cup	0.88
50 g	≈ ⅜ cup	1.76
100 g	≈ ⅞ cup	3.53
250 g	≈ 2 ⅛ cups	8.82

Reference used in this table: 1 cup (236.6 ml) ≈ 120 g

Fill the cup without compressing the flour

Loosen the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top level. Do not tap the cup against the worktop to fit more in. Scooping a cup directly through a settled bag can press flour into the measure.

If the recipe gives a weight, weigh that amount directly. A conversion cannot recover the intended amount from a heavily packed cup. Use a cup with a rim you can level, rather than trying to judge loose flour against a line inside a liquid jug.

Keep the recipe’s own weight when it supplies one

A recipe writer may use a different flour-filling method or cup reference. If the recipe lists both cups and grams, use its gram amount rather than replacing it with another table’s estimate. Flour added for dusting the worktop is separate from the amount weighed for the dough.

FAQ – Ingredient Conversion

Should I sift before measuring?

Follow the recipe’s order. “Sifted flour” and flour sifted after measuring need not occupy the same volume; do not assume the cup reference covers both.

FAQ – Ingredient Conversion

How accurate are the cup and weight conversions?

Weight conversions use fixed unit factors. Cup and spoon estimates depend on the stated ingredient form and cup size. Milliliters measure volume; converting them to grams also needs an ingredient-specific reference. Without a reliable cup reference, the calculator uses grams and ounces.

Why do some small amounts convert to “≈ tsp” or “≈ tbsp”?

Small volumes may be shown as approximate spoon measures. Below half a teaspoon, the measured amount stays visible instead of being rounded up. Use a suitable scale or follow the recipe’s original measure for these small quantities.

Are the ounce (oz) and pound (lb) conversions exact?

The conversion factors between grams, ounces and pounds are exact and do not depend on the ingredient. The displayed result is rounded for readability.

Why do I see fractions like ⅛, ¼, or ⅜ in the results?

Many kitchen measurements are traditionally shown using simple fractions. Displaying amounts like “⅛ cup” or “¼ cup” makes the conversions easier to read and measure accurately with standard cups and spoons.

Why might some values look slightly different between ingredients?

Cup measurements depend on how dense an ingredient is. For example, 1 cup of flour does not weigh the same as 1 cup of sugar. Small differences also occur due to natural variations like brand, moisture, or packing. We use consistent reference values so your conversions stay reliable.
