WHEN YOU CONVERT from a weight to a volume, a simple calculation may not be highly accurate in many cases.    Increasingly in the U.S. we encounter foods weighed in "grams" and we still live in a "teaspoons and measuring cup" country.  Sometimes we just need an estimated amount for cooking.  The chart on the left shows some basic gram to cup equivalents. You can locate a item on the chart that is similar to what you need to weigh and decide if you need to make any adjustments. When accuracy is imperative you should purchase a scale that will weigh in grams.
