Cassava Flour — Grams & Cups Converter
1 cup of cassava flour weighs about 120 g. So 100 g ≈ 7/8 cup, 200 g ≈ 1 2/3 cups, and 300 g ≈ 2 1/2 cups. Convert any amount between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres with the calculator below.
💡 Tip: Cassava flour is the closest gluten-free flour to a 1:1 wheat swap in many recipes. It's the whole ground root — not the same as tapioca starch, which is extracted.

Cassava flour vs tapioca starch
Cassava flour is the whole cassava root, peeled, dried and ground — which makes it one of the closest gluten-free, grain-free flours to a 1:1 wheat swap in many recipes. It weighs about 120 g per cup. Don't confuse it with tapioca starch (or tapioca flour), which is only the starch extracted and washed out of the same root; the two behave very differently and aren't interchangeable. Cassava is also the base of Brazilian pão de queijo and West African fufu and garri.
Because it's so absorbent, start near a 1:1 swap and add liquid gradually until the batter looks right.

- How many grams is ½ cup of cassava flour?
- Half a US cup of cassava flour is about 60 grams.
- How much does 1 cup of cassava flour weigh?
- 1 cup of cassava flour weighs about 120 grams, or roughly 4.23 ounces.
- How many grams in a tablespoon of cassava flour?
- About 7.5 grams per tablespoon (and roughly 2.5 g per teaspoon).
- Why do my numbers differ slightly?
- Density changes with how the cassava flour is packed, sifted or measured. For precise baking, weigh with a scale instead of using cups.
- How many grams is 2 cups of cassava flour?
- About 240 g, at roughly 120 g per cup.
- How many cups is 150g of cassava flour?
- About 1 ¼ cups.
- Is cassava flour the same as tapioca flour?
- No. Cassava flour is the whole ground root; tapioca flour (tapioca starch) is only the starch extracted from it. They aren't interchangeable — cassava flour is denser and more absorbent.
- Can I substitute cassava flour 1:1 for wheat flour?
- Often, yes — it's one of the closest grain-free swaps. Because it's very absorbent, start at 1:1 and add extra liquid little by little until the texture matches.
- Is cassava flour gluten-free?
- Yes. Cassava flour is made purely from the cassava root, with no wheat or grain, so it's naturally gluten-free and grain-free.
