How we calculate
Choose Weight → Volume to convert grams to cups or spoons. Volume conversions switches between cups, spoons and milliliters without an ingredient.
Ingredient weights use household portions from USDA FoodData Central. We scale the selected cup or teaspoon weight to your amount. Packing, preparation, and brand can change the weight; weighing is more consistent.
Volume units use US customary measures: 1 cup = 236.588 ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons. These are not metric or UK cups. Volume-only conversions do not use ingredient weights.
