How many cups is 200 g of flour?

1.6 cups of all-purpose flour, spooned and levelled, which is about 1 5/8 cups on a measuring cup. If the recipe was written for scooped flour at 140 g a cup, 200 g is about 1 3/8 cups instead. The converter above starts on 200 g so the answer is on screen; change the amount or the ingredient to move on from there.

How many grams are in 1 cup of flour?

125 g for all-purpose flour spooned into the cup and levelled off, which is what most modern recipes mean. Scooping the cup through the bag packs it to 140 g. Other flours differ too: bread flour is 127 g a cup, cake flour 114 g, pastry and whole wheat 120 g, almond flour 96 g. Every one of them is in the ingredient list above with its source.

Why do other sites give a different number for a cup of flour?

Because they are quoting different conventions without saying so. 120, 125, 128 and 140 g all appear on the first page of results for the same question, and each is a real published figure for a particular way of filling the cup. This page uses 125 g for spooned and 140 g for scooped, states which one each table rests on, and prints the density beside every result so there is no hidden average.

Is a metric cup of flour a different weight?

Yes, slightly. A metric cup is 250 mL against the US cup's 236.588 mL, so a metric cup of spooned all-purpose flour holds 132.1 g rather than 125 g. The tool has a switch for the metric cup, and it moves the tablespoon to 15 mL and the teaspoon to 5 mL at the same time. The table on this page is for the US cup.

Flour Grams to Cups

Convert grams of flour to cups and cups of flour to grams, starting from 200 g of all-purpose flour spooned into the cup at 125 g a cup. Flour is the ingredient where the method matters most: a cup scooped straight from the bag holds 140 g, 15 g more than a spooned one, so the tool lists both and the table below says which one it used.

There is no single answer to “how many grams in a cup”. A cup measures volume and a gram measures mass, so the two only meet through a density, and the density belongs to the ingredient. A cup of cocoa powder is 85 g, a cup of honey is 340 g, and both are correct. That is why the ingredient is a required choice here rather than an optional refinement, and why the number used is printed under every result with the source it came from. Accuracy. Cups measure volume and grams measure mass, so the answer depends on the ingredient; the density used is shown beside every result with its source. Flour differs by about 12 percent between spooned and scooped, and both are listed.

All-purpose flour, spooned: grams to cups and cups to grams

Computed with the tool's own figure for all-purpose flour, spooned and levelled: 125 g per US cup of 236.588 mL, a density of 0.5283 g per mL, from the spooned and levelled convention. The first ten rows are round gram amounts, the last eight are round cup amounts. Scooped flour at 140 g a cup is 12 percent heavier, so the same grams fill about 11 percent fewer cups.
