Converting units from grams to cups or the alternative can be tricky since it involves changing the measuring method from weight to volume or vice versa. This is because cups are used for measuring volume while grams are used for measuring weight in the metric system.

Generally while measuring the amount with cups according to water density, 200 grams to cups is equal to 7/8 cup water. The answer varies based on the ingredient being measured. This is due to the different densities of ingredients, which can result in varying weights even with the same volume.
