About the Cup
Facts & Uses
- US legal cup = 240 mL (FDA nutrition labeling); US customary cup = 236.5882365 mL exactly (= 1/16 US gallon = 8 fl oz).
- The standard US cooking measure for both liquid and dry ingredients in recipes, baking, and meal portioning.
- Metric cup = 250 mL exactly — used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and parts of Europe for recipe standardization.
- Subdivisions used in baking: ¼ cup, ⅓ cup, ½ cup, ¾ cup; common sets sold as graduated measuring cups.
Curiosities
- The cup has at least four definitions in active use: US customary (236.59 mL), US legal (240 mL), metric (250 mL), and Japanese (200 mL). Recipe origin matters for accuracy.
- The FDA uses 240 mL on nutrition labels because it is a clean round number — nutritionists, not bakers, set this standard.
- For dry ingredients like flour, the weight per cup varies by ingredient (flour ≈ 120 g, sugar ≈ 200 g, butter ≈ 227 g) — why professional bakers use scales instead.
- Approximate equivalents: 1 US cup ≈ 237 mL ≈ 16 tablespoons ≈ 0.5 US pint.
