Understanding the Units
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.
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.

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of shredded coconut fills a different number of cups than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
