How We Calculate 240 Grams to Cups
At GramsToCups.site, every conversion is derived from authoritative USDA FoodData Central bulk densities rather than generic approximations. Because cup capacities differ internationally, our converter provides instant support across five major standards: US Customary (236.6 mL), US Legal (240 mL), Metric (250 mL), UK Imperial (284.1 mL), and Japanese (200 mL).
Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups is 240 grams of flour?
240 grams of all-purpose flour equals approximately 1 7/8 cups (1.92 cups) when fluffed, spooned into the cup, and leveled.
How many cups is 240 grams of sugar?
240 grams of granulated white sugar equals approximately 1 1/6 cups (1.20 cups), or 19.2 tablespoons.
How many cups is 240 grams of butter?
240 grams of butter equals approximately 1.06 cups (1.06 cups), which is 2.12 standard US butter sticks or 16.9 tablespoons.
How do I measure 240 grams without a kitchen scale?
240g is 1 US Legal cup of water/milk, or just under 2 cups of flour.
Why does 240 grams produce different cup volumes for different ingredients?
Cups measure volume (3D physical space) while grams measure mass (weight). Because granulated sugar (200g/cup) is significantly denser than all-purpose flour (125g/cup), 240 grams of sugar occupies far less cup volume than 240 grams of flour.
