What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 235.20 g, based on dried cranberries having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
