Cup

Volume

0.06 gal

The cup is a unit of measurement for volume, used in cooking to measure bulk foods like chopped vegetables (an example of a dry measurement) or liquids like milk (fluid measurement). It is in common use in many countries, especially nations which were once part of the British Empire, including the United States and most members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and nations which sought to emulate them, such as Japan.
