How Much Is 3 Cups of Semolina Flour in Grams?
3 cups of semolina flour weighs 501.00 g. This is based on semolina flour having a density of 167g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 3 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 cups of semolina flour
- 1 cup of semolina flour = 167g
- 3 × 167 = 501g
