Grams to Cups
Convert a gram weight to cups by ingredient density.
About Grams to Cups
Dividing the gram weight by the ingredient's grams-per-cup density gives the equivalent volume. Scaling a recipe by weight then converting back to cups only makes sense when you lack a scale but have standard measuring cups.
