220 grams is approximately 0.929 cups.
This conversion depends on the ingredient density, but assuming a common ingredient like all-purpose flour, 220 grams translates to about 0.929 cups. The calculation uses the standard weight-to-volume conversion for flour, where 1 cup is about 236 grams.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to cups is based on the density or weight of the ingredient in grams per cup. For flour, 1 cup equals about 236.588 grams. So, to find how many cups 220 grams is, divide 220 by 236.588.
Formula:
cups = grams ÷ 236.588
Why it works: Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the conversion depends on the ingredient’s density. Since flour weighs about 236.588 grams per cup, dividing the weight by this value converts grams into cups.
Example calculation:
220 grams ÷ 236.588 grams/cup = 0.929 cups
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 grams to cups:
- Divide 150 by 236.588
- 150 ÷ 236.588 = 0.634 cups
- So, 150 grams equal about 0.634 cups
- Convert 300 grams to cups:
- Divide 300 by 236.588
- 300 ÷ 236.588 = 1.268 cups
- Result is approximately 1.268 cups
- Convert 100 grams to cups:
- 100 ÷ 236.588 = 0.423 cups
- This means 100 grams is about 0.423 cups

Conversion Definitions
Grams: Grams is a metric unit of mass, used for measuring the weight of objects or substances. One gram equals one-thousandth of a kilogram and is widely used in cooking, science, and commerce to provide precise weight measurements.
Cups: Cups is a unit of volume commonly used in cooking measurements, especially in the United States. One cup equals 8 fluid ounces or approximately 237 milliliters, and it measures how much space a substance occupies rather than its weight.
Conversion FAQs
Why does the grams to cups conversion vary for different ingredients?
Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the conversion depends on the density of the ingredient. For example, flour is lighter per cup than sugar, so 220 grams of sugar will be less than one cup, but 220 grams of flour is closer to a full cup.
Can I use the same conversion for liquids and solids?
No, liquids and solids differ in density, so the grams to cups conversion changes. Water’s density is about 1 gram per milliliter, making it easier to convert, but flour or sugar densities vary, so each ingredient has its own grams-to-cups ratio.
Is it accurate to convert grams to cups without knowing the ingredient?
Not really. Since cups measure volume and grams measure weight, knowing the ingredient density is necessary. Using a generic conversion can lead to errors in recipes, especially for baking where precision matters.
How does temperature affect grams to cups conversion?
Temperature may change the volume of some ingredients because of expansion or contraction, but weight remains constant. This means the grams to cups conversion can slightly vary if the ingredient’s volume changes with temperature.
Why do some recipes list both grams and cups?
Recipes often include both units to help cooks worldwide, since some prefer weight measurements (grams) for accuracy, and others use volume (cups) for convenience. Offering both reduces confusion and improves recipe success.
