How many cups is 100g of flour?

100g of flour is 0.83 cups, which is just over three-quarters of a cup: a US cup measures 240ml and a cup of flour weighs 120g. The result changes with the ingredient, because density changes: 100g of sugar is 0.5 cups and 100g of honey is 0.29 cups.

How many tablespoons is 25ml?

25ml is 1.67 tablespoons, because one tablespoon holds 15ml. If you need a precise measurement, 25ml is exactly 5 teaspoons of 5ml each, which is about one-tenth of a 240ml cup. Since these are two volume measurements, the conversion applies to any ingredient.

How many grams is half a teaspoon?

It depends on the ingredient, because half a teaspoon is a volume (2.5 ml) and not a weight. Half a teaspoon of flour weighs 1.25g, sugar 2.08g, salt 3.04g, and honey 3.54g. Water is the simplest case: 2.5ml of water weighs 2.5g.

How do you convert grams to tablespoons?

Divide the grams by the weight of one tablespoon of that ingredient. A tablespoon holds 15ml, which is one-sixteenth of a 240ml cup: a tablespoon of flour weighs 7.5g, sugar 12.5g, butter 14.19g, and honey 21.25g. So 50g of flour is 6.67 tablespoons, while 50g of sugar is exactly 4 tablespoons.

Why does a cup of flour weigh less than a cup of honey?

Because a cup always measures the same volume, 240 ml, while weight depends on the ingredient's density. Flour is light and airy: 240 ml weighs 120 g, which is 0.5 g per milliliter. Honey is dense and viscous: the same 240 ml weighs 340 g, about 1.42 g per milliliter, almost triple that of flour. Water is in the middle, with 240 g per cup and exactly 1 g per milliliter. This is why a conversion based solely on volume, without choosing the ingredient, almost always gives an incorrect result.
