The conversion of 100 grams to cups depends on the ingredient because each ingredient has a specific density, meaning the weight per unit of volume varies. Here are some examples of how 100 grams converts to cups for common ingredients:
- Flour (all-purpose): approximately 0.8 cups
- Bread flour: 0.77 cups
- Cake flour: 0.88 cups
- Granulated sugar: 0.5 cups
- Brown sugar: 0.51 cups
- Butter: 0.44 cups
- Coconut flour: about 0.89 cups (just under 1 cup)
- Water: about 0.42 cups
This shows that 100 grams roughly equals between 0.4 to 0.9 cups, depending on what is being measured. The general formula to convert grams to cups is: cups=gramsgrams-per-cup\text{cups}=\frac{\text{grams}}{\text{grams-per- cup}}cups=grams-per-cupgrams where grams-per-cup varies by ingredient density.
