How do I convert US cups to cups for any recipe?

Switching between metric cups and US cups is a fixed volume ratio that applies to any ingredient, since one US cup is 240 ml and one metric cup is 250 ml. The volume converter at the link below covers cups, US cups, millilitres, tablespoons and teaspoons in both directions.

What is the difference between a metric cup and a US cup?

A metric cup holds 250 ml while a US cup holds 240 ml, so a US cup is 4% smaller. For chopped mango that gap is small but real, and it adds up across several cups. The guide linked below explains when the difference matters and how to switch between the two so a recipe lands right whichever cup you own.

Mango varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common mango varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Alphonso	Desserts and lassi: rich, fragrant, non-fibrous flesh, prized in season.
Kent	Fresh eating and smoothies: large, sweet, and nearly fibreless.
Tommy Atkins	All-purpose: firm and mild, the well-travelled supermarket standard.
Ataulfo (Honey)	Fresh eating: small, buttery, and very sweet with a thin stone.
Keitt	Salsa and slicing: large, late-season, mild and juicy with green skin.

Which should I pick?

For everyday eating and smoothies, Kent and Keitt are large, fibreless, and reliably sweet. No Kent? Tommy Atkins is the firm, well-travelled supermarket default, milder but easy to find. Reach for Alphonso or Ataulfo (Honey) when you want the richest, most fragrant flesh for desserts and lassi.
