480 Grams to Cups Converter
This calculator turns 480 grams into a cup-based estimate for the ingredient you choose. A light, airy dry ingredient like flour or oats takes up more space than a dense one such as honey, peanut butter, or molasses, even though the weight is identical.
That means 480g can look very different from one recipe to the next. For example, flour comes out to about 4 cups, sugar lands around 2.4 cups, and honey is closer to 1.41 cups.

Why 480 Grams Can Still Look Different in the Measuring Cup
The weight stays fixed, but the volume does not. That’s why 480 grams of sugar is about 2.4 cups, 480 grams of flour is close to 4 cups, and 480 grams of honey is only around 1.4 cups.
For baking and cooking, a scale is still the most reliable route because scooping, packing, sifting, chopping, or melting can all shift the volume. If you just need a quick estimate, the calculator and table above offer a convenient shortcut.
