Convert Cup (metric) to Cup (US)
Cup (metric)
A metric cup is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as 250 milliliters (mL). It is commonly used in cooking and food preparation to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.
The metric cup is derived from the liter, which is the base unit of volume in the metric system. The metric cup was introduced to provide a convenient unit for measuring smaller volumes, particularly in cooking and food preparation. It is widely used in countries that have adopted the metric system.
Cup (US)
The US cup is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is equal to 1/16th of a US gallon, or 1/4th of a US quart, which is equivalent to 8 fluid ounces or approximately 0.236588 liters. It is commonly used in cooking and nutrition, particularly in recipes and food packaging.
The US cup has its origins in the British system, where cups were used as a standard measurement for liquids. However, the US cup, as it is known today, was standardized in the 19th century to be 1/16th of a US gallon or 8 fluid ounces. This standard was established to provide a consistent measurement for both liquid and dry ingredients, especially in cooking and food preparation. Despite the global adoption of the metric system, the US cup continues to be widely used in the United States for recipes, food labeling, and nutritional information.
