Why 150 Grams Isn't a Fixed Number of Cups

Grams measure weight, while cups measure volume. A cup is a fixed amount of space, but 150 grams of different ingredients takes up different amounts of that space depending on how dense the ingredient is. That is why 150 grams of flour fills far more of a cup than 150 grams of honey.

Density is the link. Each ingredient has a grams-per-cup value — flour is about 120 grams per cup, granulated sugar 200, and honey a heavy 340. To find the cups, divide 150 by that number: 150 ÷ 120 = 1.25 cups of flour, while 150 ÷ 340 = only 0.44 cups of honey.

Light, airy ingredients such as flour, cocoa, and oats give you more cups per 150 grams; dense ones such as honey, salt, and butter give you fewer.

What 150 Grams Looks Like in the Kitchen
