Ghee, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of ghee = 208 grams · 100g = 0.48 cups
Ghee is butter that has been simmered until the water cooks off and the milk solids are strained out, leaving pure golden butterfat with a high smoke point and nutty aroma. Like butter it weighs about 208 grams per cup, a little less than whole butter because the water is gone. It is liquid when warm and semi-solid when cool.

Ghee: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of ghee weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of ghee in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup ghee | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 208 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 220 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 250 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 176 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

So 100g of ghee is about 0.48 cups, 200g is about 0.96 cups, 250g is about 1.2 cups, and 300g is about 1.44 cups.

How to measure ghee accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh ghee on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of ghee weighs about 208 grams (7.34 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts ghee 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: Measure ghee melted and liquid for accuracy; scooping it solid traps air pockets and undershoots the weight.
