Converts cups of flour to grams and back, from the weight of 1 cup (all-purpose flour: 125 g).
Example with the default inputs (Cups (cup) 5, Ingredient All-purpose flour, 125 g per cup): 5 cups = 625 g (All-purpose flour, 125 g per cup).
Formula: grams = cups × 125, where grams per cup depends on the ingredient (all-purpose flour: 125 g)
- Grams per cup are USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) portion weights for one level US cup (8 US fluid ounces): all-purpose flour 125 g (FDC 168894), granulated sugar 200 g (FDC 169655), brown sugar, packed 220 g (FDC 168833), powdered sugar, unsifted 120 g (FDC 169656), whole milk 244 g (FDC 171265), butter 227 g (FDC 173410), olive oil 216 g (FDC 171413), honey 339 g (FDC 169640), white rice, uncooked 185 g (FDC 169756).
- Water is pure water: 0.999975 kg per liter at 4 °C and 0.998207 kg per liter at 20 °C, from the Tanaka et al. (2001) density formula.
- How you fill the cup changes the weight: packed, sifted, or scooped flour can differ by 20% or more.
- Exact on the typed decimals: at most 6 decimal places (6 significant digits below 0.0001), rounded half up; an answer of 1 billion or more shows at most 15 significant digits.
