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.
Open the Cooking Measurement CalculatorQuick Answer: Water: 1 g = 1 mL. Flour: 1 g ≈ 1.9 mL. Sugar: 1 g ≈ 1.18 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
- Liquids: 1 g = 1 mL.
- Flour: multiply grams by 1.9.
- Sugar: multiply grams by 1.18.
- Check density if using other ingredients.
Summary: Easy for liquids, varies for dry goods.
