So 100g of gelatin powder is about 0.67 cups, 200g is about 1.33 cups, 250g is about 1.67 cups, and 300g is about 2 cups.

How to measure gelatin powder accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh gelatin powder on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of gelatin powder weighs about 150 grams (5.29 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts gelatin powder and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Sprinkle gelatin over cold liquid and let it bloom for 5 minutes before heating; dumping it into hot liquid makes it clump into rubbery lumps.
