The cooking measurement converter you needed

UnitChef converts cups, xícaras (Brazilian cups), tablespoons and grams for 65+ cooking ingredients with precise values. No more confusion between Brazilian and international recipe measurements.

Brazilian xícara vs US cup — what's the difference?

The Brazilian standard measuring cup (xícara de chá) holds 240ml, while the US cup holds 236ml — just 4ml apart. For most recipes, that difference is negligible. However, the ANVISA cup (used on Brazilian food labels) holds 200ml, which can cause significant errors in baking if confused.

UnitChef uses 240ml for the Brazilian xícara de chá and 236ml for the US cup — the standards used in culinary recipes. For maximum precision in baking, use a kitchen scale.
