When the dry ingredients in a recipe are grams how do you change them to cups?

To convert grams to cups for dry ingredients, you will need to know the density of the specific ingredient. The density of an ingredient is its mass per unit volume. Once you know the density, you can use the following formula to convert grams to cups:

```

cups = grams / (density * 28.35)

```

where:

* cups is the volume in cups

* grams is the mass in grams

* density is the density of the ingredient in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)

* 28.35 is the number of grams in one ounce

Here is a table of the densities of some common dry ingredients:

| Ingredient | Density (g/cm³) |

|---|---|

| All-purpose flour | 0.57 |

| Brown sugar | 0.75 |

| Granulated sugar | 0.88 |

| Rolled oats | 0.32 |

| White rice | 0.82 |

For example, to convert 200 grams of all-purpose flour to cups, you would divide 200 by (0.57 * 28.35), which equals 1.28 cups.

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to convert grams to cups for dry ingredients:

1. Look up the density of the ingredient in a reliable source. (see table above as a reference guide)

2. Divide the weight in grams by the density of the ingredient in grams/cm³.

3. Divide that result by 28.35.

Note that the density of an ingredient can vary depending on the specific brand and variety, so it's always best to check the density of the specific ingredient you are using.
