grams to ml — Quick g → mL Converter (Updated 2025)

grams to ml

Converting grams to ml depends on the ingredient’s density. For water and milk: 1 g = 1 mL. For flour and sugar, the result is different. Below you’ll find easy charts, examples, and tips—plus a direct link back to the instant calculator.

50 g50 mL
100 g100 mL
250 g250 mL
500 g500 mL
1000 g1000 mL (1 L)

Flour

Grams (g)Milliliters (mL)
50 g≈ 95 mL
100 g≈ 190 mL
250 g≈ 475 mL
500 g≈ 950 mL

Sugar

Grams (g)Milliliters (mL)
50 g≈ 59 mL
100 g≈ 118 mL
250 g≈ 295 mL
500 g≈ 590 mL

Takeaway: Liquids are 1:1, solids vary by density.

Real-World Example

A recipe calls for 100 g sugar. Using the chart: 100 g ≈ 118 mL. If it asked for 100 g flour, that equals about 190 mL.

Summary: 100 g sugar = 118 mL, 100 g flour = 190 mL.

Common Mistakes

Assuming 1 g = 1 mL for all

This works only for water-like liquids.

Not checking ingredient type

Different densities = different results.

Mixing cups with mL

They measure volume differently. Double-check units.

10-Second Method: grams to mL

  1. Liquids: 1 g = 1 mL.
  2. Flour: multiply grams by 1.9.
  3. Sugar: multiply grams by 1.18.
  4. Check density if using other ingredients.

Summary: Easy for liquids, varies for dry goods.
