390 Grams to Cups

Direct Kitchen Answer

390 grams is about 3⅛ cups of all-purpose flour, 1.95 cups of granulated sugar, or 1¾ cups of butter.

For practical kitchen measuring, 390 grams of granulated sugar is about 1.95 cup (31 tablespoons).

Why volume varies: Because grams measure weight while cups measure volume, the same 390 grams can take up different amounts of space depending on the ingredient.

Condition: Spooned and leveled (fluffed with a fork, gently spooned into cup, and leveled) • The USDA standard defines 1 cup of all-purpose flour as 125g. Published baking standards vary: King Arthur Baking specifies 120g/cup for their recipes, while direct scooping ("dip and sweep") compacts flour up to 140g–150g per cup.

How We Calculate 390 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 390 grams of flour?

390 grams of all-purpose flour equals approximately 3 1/8 cups (3.12 cups) when fluffed, spooned into the cup, and leveled.

How many cups is 390 grams of sugar?

390 grams of granulated white sugar equals approximately 1.95 cups (1.95 cups), or 31.2 tablespoons.

How many cups is 390 grams of butter?

How do I measure 390 grams without a kitchen scale?

390g is ~3.1 cups of flour, or 2 cups of uncooked rice.

Why does 390 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), 390 grams of sugar occupies far less cup volume than 390 grams of flour.
