This table converts North American cup volume measures for some common ingredients to metric rather than Imperial weights, since grams allow more precision than ounces.
Note that Australian volume measures for cups and spoons are different from North American ones, so if you’re baking in Australia, follow the metric measures provided within each recipe.
The weights have been rounded to the nearest 5-gram measure and are based on Canadian ingredients.
