500 g of all-purpose flour is almost exactly 4 cups. 500 g is about 22% of a 5 lb (2,268 g) bag of flour. 500 g is the same weight as 2½ cups of granulated sugar. At King Arthur Baking's 120 g per cup, 500 g would fill about 2½ tbsp more than at 125 g.

The flour cup weights cover every amount from 10 g to 1 kg.

How to convert 500 g of all-purpose flour to cups

  1. Divide by the weight of 1 cup: 500 ÷ 125 = 4.00 US cups.
  2. Fill the 1 cup measure 4 times.
  3. Spoon the all-purpose flour into each measure until it heaps, then level it with a straight edge. Don’t tap or press.
Spooned vs scooped. Scooping straight from the bag packs in more flour, so a scooped cup weighs more than 125 g.
