How We Calculate 480 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 do I measure 480 grams without a kitchen scale?
480g is 2 US Legal cups of water, or ~3.8 cups of flour.
Why does 480 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), 480 grams of sugar occupies far less cup volume than 480 grams of flour.
