So 100g of tapioca flour is about 0.83 cups, 200g is about 1.67 cups, 250g is about 2.08 cups, and 300g is about 2.5 cups.

How to measure tapioca flour accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh tapioca flour on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of tapioca flour weighs about 120 grams (4.23 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts tapioca flour 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: Tapioca flour and tapioca starch are the same thing — don't be thrown by the two names on different brands.
