Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 230g/cup = grams

  2. 1 cup of sour cream = 230g
  3. 0.43 × 230 = 98.9g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Sour cream weighs 230g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring cup without pressing down too firmly.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

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 98.90 g, based on sour cream having a density of 230g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 230 (grams per cup for sour cream). For 0.43 cups: 0.43 × 230 = 98.90 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh sour cream 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 98.90 g ÷ 230 = 0.43 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
