How Much Is 28 Grams of Chocolate Chips in Cups?
28 grams of chocolate chips equals 0.17 cups. Chocolate chips has a density of 168g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 28 grams of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 28g ÷ 168g/cup = 0.17 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chocolate chips weigh 168g per cup. Different chip sizes (mini, standard, jumbo) pack differently, so the weight per measuring cup varies with the size.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
