Cup (US)
The US cup is a customary volume unit equal to 8 fluid ounces or about 236.588 milliliters. Originating from practical kitchen measures, it has become a standard in American recipes, baking, and beverage portions. The cup facilitates straightforward scaling in recipes and is widely recognized in cookbooks, culinary schools, and food packaging.
Metric Cup (250 mL)
The metric cup equals 250 milliliters and is part of the metric cooking system used worldwide, especially in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Unlike the US cup, it is decimal-based, making recipe scaling and international culinary communication straightforward. Metric cups are widely used in nutrition labeling, recipe books, and professional kitchens.
