How this chart is built

Each weight is copied from King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart and checked row by row. Where King Arthur lists a half cup, a quarter cup or a spoon, we scale it to a cup and say so. Where King Arthur gives a range (fresh blueberries, 140–170 g) we show the figure we use and the range. Four ingredients aren’t on King Arthur’s chart; they’re labelled with how we got the number. Water is the one deliberate departure: we use 237 g, the weight of exactly 8 fl oz (236.6 ml) of water.

The same data powers our cups to grams converter, the recipe to grams converter and the baker’s percentage calculator, so every tool on the site agrees with this page.

Where do these weights come from?
89 of the 93 weights are from King Arthur Baking's published ingredient weight chart, checked row by row on 2026-10-30. The few that aren't on that chart are labelled with how we derived them.
Why do other charts give different numbers?
A cup’s weight depends on how it’s filled. These are spoon-and-level weights (packed for brown sugar); scooping straight from the bag packs in more, especially flour. King Arthur lists water at 227 g a cup. We use 237 g, the weight of exactly 8 fl oz (236.6 ml) of water.
Can I use this data on my site or in my app?
Yes. The CSV and JSON files are free under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0: use them anywhere, including commercially, with a credit and link to MeasureChef.
How are tablespoon and teaspoon weights worked out?
From the cup weight: 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons to the cup. For small amounts like salt and leaveners, King Arthur publishes spoon weights directly and our cup figures are scaled from those.
