What 140 grams looks like

140 grams is 4.9384 ounces by weight, whatever the ingredient. The cups depend on what you are weighing. 140 g of caster sugar is very close to ¾ cup; 140 g of packed brown sugar is very close to ⅔ cup; 140 g of whole almonds is very close to 1 cup; 140 g of vanilla extract is very close to ⅔ cup.

At this size the kitchen fraction is a fair guide, but a level measuring cup and a spooned, unpacked fill matter: 140 g of flour is a little over 1 ⅛ cups, while a scooped cup can carry 20% more.

140 grams in metric cups and ounces

In a 250 ml metric or Australian cup, 140 g of all-purpose flour is about 1.1 cups instead of 1.17 US cups, because the cup is bigger while the weight per cup stays on the same reference. By weight, 140 g is 4.9384 oz for any ingredient.

The calculation is always grams ÷ grams per cup: 140 ÷ 120 = 1.1667 US cups for flour, 140 ÷ 226.7962 = 0.6173 for butter. Keep the unrounded figure while you work and round only what you write down.
