Densities are household approximations and vary with the ingredient, humidity, and how you measure.
When a recipe says "1 cup of flour" but you only own a kitchen scale — or you want to know how many grams a tablespoon of soy sauce is — this converter does it with the ingredient's density built in. Choose a common ingredient (water, flour, sugar, honey, butter, soy sauce and more), enter the amount and its unit (cup, tbsp, tsp, ml, g…), and you instantly get a table of equivalents in grams, milliliters, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups and ounces. The key idea is that ingredients don't weigh the same: one cup is about 110 g of cake flour, ~130 g of fine sugar, but ~280 g of honey. Generic converters only work for water (1 ml = 1 g); this tool uses per-ingredient densities from standard household measuring tables, so powders, liquids and condiments come out far closer to reality. Switch the cup size between Japanese 200 ml and US 240 ml for overseas recipes, with 5 ml teaspoons and 15 ml tablespoons. Amounts accept decimals like 1.5 and fractions like 1/2 or 1 1/2. Copy any row with one click. All of the math runs entirely inside your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored, and the density table ships with the page so there are no outside lookups. Treat the weights as good approximations; they shift a little with brand, humidity and how you scoop.
How to use
- In the toolbar, pick the Ingredient (flour by default) and the cup size — Japan 200 ml or US 240 ml.
- Enter the Amount and Unit (e.g. 1 cup, or 2 tbsp). Decimals like 1.5 and fractions like 1/2 are accepted.
- The equivalents in grams, ml, tsp, tbsp and cups appear right below. Use "Copy" on any row.
FAQ
How many grams is one cup of flour?
This tool treats it as about 110 g (Japanese 200 ml cup, standard table approximation). The same cup is ~130 g of fine sugar, ~180 g of caster sugar and ~280 g of honey, so always pick the ingredient first. How you scoop the flour (sifted vs. packed) shifts it too.
Why don't generic unit converters work for cooking?
Most converters assume water, where 1 ml = 1 g. That fails for flour, oil and condiments because the relationship between volume (cups, tablespoons) and weight (grams) depends on the ingredient's density. This tool ships per-ingredient densities and converts volume ⇄ weight accordingly.
Is a cup 200 ml or 240 ml?
You can switch. Japanese recipes use 1 cup = 200 ml, while US (and many Western) recipes use 240 ml. Choose it under "Cup" in the toolbar. Teaspoons are 5 ml and tablespoons 15 ml, the common approximation used in both.
Can I enter tablespoons or fractions?
Yes. The amount accepts whole numbers, decimals (1.5), fractions (1/2) and mixed numbers (1 1/2), and the unit can be cup, tbsp, tsp, ml, L, g, kg, oz or lb. So "2 tbsp of soy sauce in grams" converts directly.
Is anything I type uploaded?
No. Every conversion runs in your browser with JavaScript, and nothing you enter is sent to or stored on a server. The density table is bundled into the page, so there are no external lookups either.
How accurate are the weights shown?
They are approximations from standard household measuring tables. Real weight varies a few percent with brand, humidity, fineness and how you level the spoon. For baking or anything where precision matters, weigh the final amount on a kitchen scale.
