Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 167g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 501 grams of semolina flour
  2. 1 cup of semolina flour = 167g
  3. 501g ÷ 167g/cup = 3 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Humidity affects semolina flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

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?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 3.00 cups, based on semolina flour having a density of 167g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 167 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 501 grams: 501 ÷ 167 = 3 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh semolina flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off, you will get about 167 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 183.7 to 208.75 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 3.00 cups × 167g/cup = 501g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
