1000 Grams to Cups

Grams to cups depends on the ingredient. 1000 grams is 8 1/3 cups of all-purpose flour, 5 cups of granulated sugar and 4 3/8 cups of butter.

Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the same 1000 g fills a different amount of cup for each ingredient. Choose yours in the converter or find it in the table below.

Measuring tips

  • Weigh in grams on a kitchen scale for the most accurate result, and set the scale to zero (tare) with the bowl on it.
  • This site uses the US cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so recipes from the UK, Australia or New Zealand can differ.
  • Check whether the recipe means the ingredient sifted, packed, melted or cooked, because that changes the weight per cup.
