How many grams in 1/4 cup

Use this page as a reference for converting between US cups, grams, ounces, pounds, tablespoons and teaspoons. Measuring ingredients by weight (grams or ounces) rather than volume (cups or tablespoons) will often provide more accurate measurements.

It is important to note that the calculation of cups to grams is dependent on the density of the ingredient and how it is packed into the cup (which can sometimes vary widely). As an example, packing an ingredient into a cup or tapping the cup can increase the available yield, and therefore weight, by 15-20% compared to scooping alone.

The following are approximations for flour. Cup measurements assume that your flour is spooned into the cup. If you use the ‘dip and sweep’ method, consider increasing your gram, ounce or pound figure by 15-20%. If you sieve before measuring, reduce the figure by around 5%. Spoon approximations are based on a flat spoon, not heaped. You may wish to know that we have an article dedicated to how many cups of flour there are in a pound.
