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:
The flour in grams is equal to the flour in quarts multiplied by 500.
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
While most experts suggest measuring dry ingredients by weight for improved precision,[1] not all recipes call for ingredients by weight and when they do we might not all have a scale handy. Because flours vary in density, it might not be immediately clear how to convert between a weight and volume measurement.
The table below can help with the conversion, and shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of flour, by type.

Should I 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 ingredient. Additionally, the amount that the flour is packed or compressed in the cup or tablespoon will alter the amount of ingredient being added.
For these reasons, a food scale is the preferred way to measure flour when cooking, rather than a cup or tablespoon.
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.
