What 160 grams looks like

160 grams is 5.6438 ounces by weight, whatever the ingredient. The cups depend on what you are weighing. 160 g of packed brown sugar is exactly ¾ cup; 160 g of water is very close to ⅔ cup; 160 g of unsweetened shredded coconut is very close to 3 cups; 160 g of rye flour is very close to 1½ cups.

At this size the kitchen fraction is a fair guide, but a level measuring cup and a spooned, unpacked fill matter: 160 g of flour is 1 ⅓ cups, while a scooped cup can carry 20% more.

160 grams in metric cups and ounces

In a 250 ml metric or Australian cup, 160 g of all-purpose flour is about 1.26 cups instead of 1.33 US cups, because the cup is bigger while the weight per cup stays on the same reference. By weight, 160 g is 5.6438 oz for any ingredient.

The calculation is always grams ÷ grams per cup: 160 ÷ 120 = 1.3333 US cups for flour, 160 ÷ 226.7962 = 0.7055 for butter. Keep the unrounded figure while you work and round only what you write down.
