How many grams are in a 1/8 dry measuring cup?!
Question: I need to know this for a protein drink, they need 30gms or 1 scoop but they didn't put a scoop in. Even coffee makers put scoops inside.
Answers:
To be exact, you would have to weigh it.
A gram is a unit of mass. Here on Earth, 30 grams is equal to 30 grams = 1.05821886 ounces
Many sites say this is about 2 tablespoons.
NOW, if we were measuring WATER, 1 Tablespoon weighs about 1 Gram and fills One millileter, but obviously the powder you are using is only about half as dense as water so 1 can of it weighs only about half as much as a can of water would weigh.
That is why it takes two tablespoons to make a gram.
If God had meant Humans to use the metric system,
he'd have given us ten fingers!" (Um .)
Other Answers:
I think it depends on what you've got in the measuring cup. For example an 1/8c of lead will weigh more than 1/8c of feathers. I hate to say this, but you need a scale. If you can't get a metric scale, measure in ounces and then convert to grams.
To convert from Grams to Ounces, simply multiply the grams by 0.04
To convert from Ounces to Grams, simply multiply the ounces by 28.35
There's a form to do it on the site I'm listing below. Good luck.
