How to Convert Quarts of Flour to Grams

To convert a measurement in quarts to a measurement in grams, multiply the flour by the following conversion ratio: 500 grams/quart.

Since one quart of flour is equal to 500 grams, you can use this simple formula to convert:

grams = quarts × 500

The flour in grams is equal to the flour in quarts multiplied by 500.

For example, here's how to convert 5 quarts to grams using the formula above.
grams = (5 qt × 500) = 2,500 g

How Many Grams Are in a Quart of Flour?

There are 500 grams in a quart of flour, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 qt = 500 g

Experts often recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight for accuracy,[1] but some recipes use volume, and not all home cooks own a digital scale. Converting between weight and volume can be tricky because different types of flour vary in density.

The table below can help with the conversion and shows the approximate volume measurement for the weight of various types of flour.

Should You Measure Flour by Weight or Volume?

Most experts agree that dry ingredients like flour should be measured by weight rather than volume, especially in baking. The reason for this is that flours vary slightly in density, so a volume measurement will likely yield an incorrect amount of ingredients. Additionally, the amount that the flour is packed or compressed in the cup or tablespoon will alter the amount of ingredients being added.

For these reasons, a food scale, rather than measuring cups or spoons, is the preferred way to measure flour when cooking. For recipes that call for measurements in volume, professional bakers use a whisk to aerate flour that's been stored in a bag or canister before measuring since flour will settle when stored and weigh heavier even in the same-sized measuring cup.

Quarts and grams are both units used to measure flour. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Quart?

A quart is a measure of flour volume equal to 4 cups.

Quarts can be abbreviated as qt; for example, 1 quart can be written as 1 qt.

What Is a Gram?

One gram is 1/1000 of a kilogram. One gram of flour is equal to roughly 0.035274 ounces or 0.00220462 pounds. A gram is a measure of flour weight.

The gram, or gramme, is an SI unit of weight in the metric system. Grams can be abbreviated as g; for example, 1 gram can be written as 1 g.
