To convert 20 grams to cups, divide 20 by the ingredient's grams-per-cup value. The formula is:
For example, 20 grams of all-purpose flour (120g/cup) = 0.1667 cups. But 20 grams of water (240g/cup) = 0.0833 cups.
This is why specifying your ingredient is crucial when converting grams to cups. Our grams to cups calculator above handles this automatically.
Whether 20 grams is a large or small quantity depends on the ingredient:
20 grams of all-purpose flour equals approximately 0.1667 cups. This is based on the standard weight of 120 grams per cup for all-purpose flour.
20 grams of granulated sugar equals approximately 0.1 cups, based on the standard weight of 200 grams per cup of white sugar.
20 grams of butter equals approximately 0.0881 cups. One cup of butter weighs 227 grams (2 sticks).
20 grams of water equals approximately 0.0833 cups. Water weighs approximately 240 grams per cup.
Because each ingredient has a different density. A cup of feather-light powdered sugar weighs far less than a cup of heavy honey. This is why you must always specify the ingredient when converting grams to cups.
