Questions
How many grams is 1 cup?
It depends on the ingredient. One US cup holds 236.6 ml, so 1 cup of water weighs about 237 g, but 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 g and 1 cup of granulated sugar 198 g.
Why does a cup of flour weigh less than a cup of sugar?
A cup measures volume, not weight. Flour is light and full of air; sugar crystals are dense and pack tightly. The same cup holds 120 g of flour but 198 g of sugar.
