Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1 cup of peanut butter?
By definition, 1 cup of peanut butter is 1 cup — but by weight that's 258g, since 1 US cup of peanut butter weighs 258 grams.
Why isn't peanut butter the same weight as flour or sugar?
Every ingredient has its own density: how tightly it packs into a measuring cup. Powdery, airy ingredients weigh less per cup than dense liquids or packed sugars, so each ingredient needs its own gram value.
Does this account for sifting or packing?
Measuring technique (spooned vs. scooped, packed vs. loose) can shift results by 10-20%. For best accuracy, use a kitchen scale.
