One cup, side by side
Why is water on an ingredient converter at all?
Because it is the reference every other ingredient here is measured against, and because it is the one case where the numbers are definitions rather than measurements: one US cup is exactly 236.588 ml, and water is 1 g per ml, so a cup of water weighs 236.588 g. It is also the assumption a generic converter makes about everything else — which is how you end up being told a cup of all-purpose flour is 237 g when it is 120 g.
