Flour Grams to Cups Converter
Convert flour grams to US cups and back using 120 grams per cup.
Scale flour with a stated cup convention
Flour does not have one universal grams-per-cup value because type and measuring technique affect how densely it packs. This converter uses 120 grams per US cup, a common baking convention for lightly spooned all-purpose flour, and states that assumption rather than presenting it as exact density.
With the default input, 240 grams of flour converts to 2 US cups. In reverse, 1 cup converts to 120 grams under the same convention. If a recipe author publishes a different cup weight, use that source value because it reflects the recipe testing method.
Private recipe math with an honest limitation
Quantities remain in your browser and no recipe is uploaded. The calculator is useful for adapting a recipe, but a scale is more consistent than volume for flour. Bread flour, cake flour, whole-wheat flour, and compressed scoops can produce different real weights.
