About the Cups to Grams Conversion
Cup measurements convert to grams differently for each ingredient because density varies; the 240 g figure applies to water and milk. Flour, sugar, and butter each have their own weight per cup, so this is a guide for liquids rather than dry goods.
Worked example: One cup of water or milk weighs about 1 x 240 = 240 grams. By contrast, a cup of all-purpose flour is closer to 120 g because it is far less dense.
Common Uses
In practice, converting cups to grams comes up most often for converting liquid volumes in US recipes to weight, switching from cups to a kitchen scale for accuracy, scaling drink and sauce recipes, and standardizing baking ratios.
