50 Grams to Cups
50 grams is ⅜ cup of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, or ¼ cup 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.
50 g is also 1.8 oz by weight. For water and thin liquids, 50 g is simply 50 ml.
50 grams to cups, by ingredient
| Ingredient | Cups | Decimal | Measure it as |
|---|---|---|---|
| all-purpose flour | ⅜ cup | 0.42 | 7 tbsp |
| granulated sugar | ¼ cup | 0.25 | 4 tbsp |
| powdered sugar | ⅜ cup | 0.42 | 7 tbsp |
| brown sugar (packed) | ¼ cup | 0.23 | 4 tbsp |
| honey | ⅛ cup | 0.15 | 2 tbsp |
| butter | ¼ cup | 0.22 | 4 tbsp |
| milk (whole) | ¼ cup | 0.2 | 3 tbsp |
| uncooked white rice | ¼ cup | 0.27 | 4 tbsp |
| rolled oats | ½ cup | 0.56 | 9 tbsp |
| chocolate chips | ⅓ cup | 0.29 | 5 tbsp |
| cocoa powder | ⅝ cup | 0.6 | 10 tbsp |
| water | ¼ cup | 0.21 | 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.

250 g All-purpose flour = 2 ⅛ cups
Exactly 2.08 cups — or measure 2 cups + 1 tbsp.
