Why a cup of flour is a surprisingly unreliable measurement

For the all-purpose flour reference on ToolsNow, 1 US cup is 120 g—but technique matters. Flour compresses, and scooping straight from the bag can pack in substantially more than spooning it loosely. That is why weight is the calmer choice for repeatable baking. A small reference worth saving: ¼ cup = 30 g, ½ cup = 60 g, 1 cup = 120 g, and 2 cups = 240 g for this ingredient. Those numbers are ingredient-specific; a cup of sugar or honey has a different mass. Use the full table when translating a recipe, then keep your measuring method consistent.

More often than not, a recipe calls for a can of cooked beans, which makes it tricky if you get your beans dried and in bulk

I found this helpful infographic on The Spruce. 1 can of beans is approximately equal to a heaping ½ cup of dried beans
