8 Grams to Cups
What 8 g looks like for every common baking ingredient
8 grams is about 3⅛ teaspoons of all-purpose flour, 1⅞ teaspoons of granulated sugar, or 1⅔ teaspoons of butter — 0.06 of a US cup of flour. At this size spoons are easier to read than cup fractions.
There is no single answer to how many cups 8 grams is — it depends entirely on what you are measuring, because grams weigh and cups fill.
It also depends on whose cup you mean. A US cup is 236.6 ml; the metric cup used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada is 250 ml, so it holds about 5.7% more. Both columns are given below.
At this size spoons are easier to read than cup fractions: 8 g of flour is about 3⅛ teaspoons, and the table below gives both.
