How Many Cups Is 175 Grams?
175 g of all-purpose flour ≈ 1.4 cups.
175 g of granulated sugar ≈ 0.88 cup · 175 g of butter ≈ 0.77 cup. The exact amount depends on the ingredient — see the table below.
175 g is one of the most common flour weights in UK and European baking, where recipes are written by weight rather than volume. The same 175 g fills a measuring cup to a different level for each ingredient, because density differs — the full breakdown is below.
175g to Cups by Ingredient
| Ingredient | 175 g = cups | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 1.40 cups | Spooned and leveled |
| Bread flour | 1.38 cups | Slightly denser than AP |
| Cake flour | 1.52 cups | Lighter, more volume per gram |
| Whole wheat flour | 1.35 cups | Densest common flour |
| Almond flour | 1.82 cups | Very light |
| Granulated sugar | 0.88 cup | Just under 7/8 cup |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 0.80 cup | Packed tight |
| Powdered sugar | 1.46 cups | Unsifted |
| Butter | 0.77 cup | ~1 1/2 sticks |
| Cocoa powder | 1.94 cups | Light and airy |
| Rolled oats | 1.94 cups | — |
| Cornstarch | 1.37 cups | — |
| Chocolate chips | 1.03 cups | — |
| Honey | 0.51 cup | Very dense |
| Maple syrup | 0.56 cup | — |
| Milk (whole) | 0.71 cup | — |
| Peanut butter | 0.68 cup | — |
| Rice (white, dry) | 0.95 cup | ~1 cup |

175g in Other Units
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| Ounces (weight) | 6.17 oz |
| Pounds | 0.386 lb (about 6 1/4 oz) |
| Kilograms | 0.175 kg |
| Milliliters (water) | 175 ml |
| Tablespoons (water) | ~11.8 tbsp |
Why 175g Gives Different Cup Amounts for Different Ingredients
When a recipe gives a weight it is being precise; when it gives cups it is being approximate, because the same cup of space holds different weights depending on what fills it. The ingredients above sort into three density bands:
- Light (cocoa, oats, flours): 175 g reaches 1.4–1.9 cups.
- Medium (sugar, milk, rice): 175 g lands around 0.7–0.95 cup.
- Heavy (honey, butter, peanut butter): 175 g is only about 0.5–0.8 cup.
Measuring Technique Changes the Answer
Spooned and leveled (recommended): spoon flour into the cup, then level the top with a knife. This gives the standard 125 g per cup, so 175 g ≈ 1.4 cups.
Scooped directly from the bag packs more in — up to 150–160 g per cup. With a packed scoop, 175 g could read as little as 1.1 cups. For consistent results, weigh your flour.

FAQ
How many cups is 175 grams of flour?
175 g of all-purpose flour is about 1.4 cups, spooned and leveled — roughly 1 1/3 cups plus a tablespoon. Cake flour, being lighter, is closer to 1.5 cups, while denser bread flour is about 1.38 cups.
Is 175g the same as 1 cup?
No. It depends on the ingredient. 175 g of flour is about 1.4 cups, 175 g of sugar is about 0.88 cup, and 175 g of butter is about 0.77 cup. A cup is a fixed volume; 175 g fills it to a different line for each ingredient.
How many cups is 175g of sugar?
About 0.88 cup of granulated sugar — just under 7/8 cup. Brown sugar packed is about 0.80 cup, and powdered sugar (lighter) is about 1.46 cups for the same 175 g.
What is 175g in ounces?
175 g is about 6.17 oz by weight (and 0.39 lb). Don't confuse weight ounces with fluid ounces — 175 g of flour is about 1.4 cups, not 6 fluid ounces.
What is 175g in tablespoons?
For flour, 175 g ÷ ~7.8 g per tablespoon ≈ 22 tablespoons. For sugar, 175 g ÷ ~12.5 g per tablespoon ≈ 14 tablespoons. Use the per-ingredient cup figures above for anything larger than a few tablespoons.
How do I convert grams to cups without a scale?
Use the table above: find your ingredient and measure the cup amount shown, leveling the top. It's an approximation — a kitchen scale set to 175 g is always more accurate, especially for baking.
