US Cups To Ounces & Grams For Common Ingredients - Erren's Kitchen

US Cups to Grams & Ounces Conversions

Need Imperial & Metric conversions for recipes? These US Cups to Ounces Cooking Conversions charts will help you convert from cups to grams and ounces.

From my research, I have found that the United States is one of three nations (Liberia and Burma being the others) that have not adopted the metric system as their official weights and measures system.

In the U.S. Customary System (also known as the inch-pound system), more than 300 different units exist to measure various physical quantities. Many of those units use the same name but have very different meanings.

All this can make it really tricky to convert measurements.

To try to make things a bit easier for you, I am adding conversion charts for commonly used ingredients.

Check back from time to time because I will update when I have new items to add.

Please note: All conversions are approximate weights.
