What 170 grams looks like

170 grams is 5.9966 ounces by weight, whatever the ingredient. The cups depend on what you are weighing. 170 g of whole wheat flour is exactly 1½ cups; 170 g of powdered sugar is exactly 1½ cups; 170 g of butter is exactly ¾ cup; 170 g of honey is very close to ½ cup.

At this size the kitchen fraction is a fair guide, but a level measuring cup and a spooned, unpacked fill matter: 170 g of flour is a little over 1 ⅓ cups, while a scooped cup can carry 20% more.

170 grams in metric cups and ounces

In a 250 ml metric or Australian cup, 170 g of all-purpose flour is about 1.34 cups instead of 1.42 US cups, because the cup is bigger while the weight per cup stays on the same reference. By weight, 170 g is 5.9966 oz for any ingredient.

The calculation is always grams ÷ grams per cup: 170 ÷ 120 = 1.4167 US cups for flour, 170 ÷ 226.7962 = 0.7496 for butter. Keep the unrounded figure while you work and round only what you write down.
