CC to Grams Converter

The number of grams in a cc (cubic centimeter) depends entirely on the substance's density. For water: 1 cc = 1 gram exactly at 4°C. For other substances: Grams = cc × density. Examples: 250 cc water = 250 grams. 250 cc flour = 133 grams (density 0.53 g/cc). 250 cc honey = 355 grams (density 1.42 g/cc). 250 cc olive oil = 230 grams (density 0.92 g/cc). This is why measuring ingredients by volume (cups/cc) versus weight (grams) gives different results for different ingredients.

1 cc (cubic centimeter) = 1 milliliter (mL), and 1 mL of water has a mass of approximately 1 gram at 4°C (the temperature where water is at its densest). This is by definition: the metric system originally defined 1 gram as the mass of 1 cc of water at 4°C. This makes water density 1 g/cc (1000 kg/m³). The relationship is why milliliters and grams are often used interchangeably for water. However, this only applies to water; other liquids and solids have different densities.

CC (cubic centimeter) and mL (milliliter) are identical volume units - 1 cc = 1 mL exactly. The gram is a mass (weight) unit. The relationship depends on density: Mass (g) = Volume (cc) × Density (g/cc). For water at room temperature: 1 cc = 1 mL = 1 gram (density ≈ 1.0 g/mL). For cooking: flour density ≈ 0.53 g/cc, so 1 cup (237 cc) flour ≈ 125 grams. This is why professional bakers measure ingredients by weight for consistency.

For cooking conversions, multiply volume in cc by the ingredient's density. Standard conversions: 1 cup = 237 cc. All-purpose flour: 1 cup = 125 g (density 0.53). Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 200 g (density 0.85). Butter: 1 cup = 227 g (density 0.96). Brown sugar (packed): 1 cup = 220 g (density 0.93). Confectioners sugar: 1 cup = 120 g (density 0.51). Vegetable oil: 1 cup = 218 g (density 0.92). Milk: 1 cup = 244 g (density 1.03). These conversions help when following recipes from different countries.
