Liquid dairy milk, close to water in density and used throughout baking and cooking. It's also commonly labeled "milk", "dairy milk", "liquid milk".
Milk (whole) belongs to the Dairy group on GramToCup, alongside other ingredients measured the same way in most kitchens. It shows up most often in batters & doughs, pancakes & waffles, custards. Its density of 240g per US cup is what this calculator uses to convert between grams and cups automatically — no manual lookup required.
Milk (whole) is a thin liquid with essentially no trapped air, so its weight per cup tracks closely with its actual density rather than varying with how it's handled.
A cup of milk (whole) is about 1.9× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup), even though both fill the same 1-cup measuring cup.
Common mistake: Measuring in a dry measuring cup and checking the level from above instead of at eye height, which is easy to misjudge.
Use a liquid measuring cup — the kind with a spout and a pour line — rather than a dry measuring cup, and check the level at eye height for milk (whole).
When a recipe needs to be exact, weigh it on a kitchen scale instead of using a measuring cup at all — it removes packing and settling from the equation entirely.
Measure milk (whole) on a flat surface and check the line at eye level; tilting the cup to read it from above is a common source of error.
100g of milk (whole) is approximately 0.42 cups, based on a density of 240g per US cup.
1 US cup of milk (whole) weighs about 240g. Use the calculator above to convert any other amount instantly.
Yes — "milk" is another common name for milk (whole). The density and conversion values on this page apply either way.
Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight. A cup of milk (whole) is about 1.9× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup) because the two ingredients have different densities — see the density explanation above for why.
Use a liquid measuring cup — the kind with a spout and a pour line — rather than a dry measuring cup, and check the level at eye height for milk (whole).
They're in the same category, but check the density first: Cocoa powder weighs 86g per cup versus 240g for milk (whole). Substituting by weight (grams) keeps a recipe accurate; substituting cup-for-cup can change the result if the densities differ much.
