How to Convert Cups to Grams
Converting cups to grams for liquids is straightforward. One cup of water equals approximately 236.588 grams (essentially its volume in mL).
For water and similar liquids, multiply cups by 236.588. For example, 2 cups x 236.588 = 473 grams. Note that different ingredients have different densities, so this conversion works best for water-like liquids.
For dry ingredients, weight varies significantly (flour, sugar, etc. have different conversions).
