100 Grams to Cups
100 grams is the universal reference weight for nutrition labels and international metric baking. Unless another cup standard is selected, calculations use the default US Customary cup (236.588 mL). For all-purpose flour, 100g is 0.80 cups (12 tablespoons + 2½ teaspoons), for granulated sugar 0.50 cups (8 tablespoons), for butter 0.44 cups (7 tablespoons + ¼ teaspoon), and for water 0.42 cups (6 tablespoons + 2¼ teaspoons).
Metric baking benchmark, roughly 3/4 cup of spooned all-purpose flour.
The 100-Gram Baseline: Deciphering Metric Baking Standards
In metric baking, 100 grams represents the standard benchmark. For light, aerated ingredients like all-purpose flour, 100 grams equals 0.80 US cups (¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon).
For granulated white sugar, 100 grams equals exactly 0.50 US cups (1/2 cup). Packed brown sugar is slightly denser, yielding 0.45 cups per 100 grams.
Solid fats like butter at 100 grams convert to 0.44 US cups, which equals 7 tablespoons or just under 1 stick (88% of a US stick).
