How Much Is 1 Gram of Type 00 Flour in Cups?
1 gram of type 00 flour equals 0.01 cups. Type 00 flour has a density of 127g 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 1 gram of type 00 flour
- 1 cup of type 00 flour = 127g
- 1g ÷ 127g/cup = 0.0079 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

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?
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.
