Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 4,904.55 g, based on couscous having a density of 173g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 173 (grams per cup for couscous). For 28.35 cups: 28.35 × 173 = 4,904.55 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh couscous on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 4,904.55 g ÷ 173 = 28.35 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
