Cup & Gram

250 Grams to Cups

250 grams is 2 ⅛ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cups of granulated sugar, or 1 ⅛ cups of butter — grams measure weight, cups measure volume, so the answer always depends on the ingredient's density. Find yours in the table below; every density is verified against King Arthur and USDA data.

250 g is also 8.8 oz by weight. For water and thin liquids, 250 g is simply 250 ml.

all-purpose flour 2 ⅛ cups 2.08 2 cups + 1 tbsp
granulated sugar 1 ¼ cups 1.25 1 cup + 4 tbsp
powdered sugar 2 ⅛ cups 2.08 2 cups + 1 tbsp
brown sugar (packed) 1 ⅛ cups 1.17 1 cup + 3 tbsp

Why the ingredient changes the answer

A US cup is a fixed volume (about 237 ml), but a cup of flour weighs 120 g while a cup of honey weighs 340 g — density is the whole game. That's also why there's no single "grams to cups" conversion factor, and why our converter asks for the ingredient first.

Convert another amount

Exactly 2.08 cups — or measure 2 cups + 1 tbsp.
