Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 138.00 g, based on pearl barley having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 200 (grams per cup for pearl barley). For 0.69 cups: 0.69 × 200 = 138.00 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh pearl barley 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: 138.00 g ÷ 200 = 0.69 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
