These 54 pages cover the ingredients people convert most, but they are a fraction of the database. Every one of the 128 ingredients GramChef tracks — every flour, sugar, oil, nut, spice and staple — is converted with its own published weight in the Cups to Grams converter, and the 40 most useful are gathered in a single table in our grams in a cup chart. If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single ingredient, the Whole Recipe Converter does every line at once.
