  If a recipe describes 8 cups of flour, how many grams or kilograms do i need to buy then?

    The packaging will tell you, but I think most people just buy in bulk rather than buy the exact amount needed for a recipe.

      Depends what it is. In this instance I was buying cups of fruit, how many cups are there to a punnet? I already have the weight on the packaging, so if I know the weight I need it’s much easier.

    If you owned a cup measure you might have some idea.

    If a recipe calls for 8 cups of flour you will need a bigger baking tin.
