Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of granulated sugar?
1 US cup of granulated sugar weighs 200 g, as measured by the USDA (1 cup). A tablespoon weighs 12.5 g.
How do I convert grams of granulated sugar to cups?
Divide the grams by 200. For example, 100 g of granulated sugar is 0.5 cups, about 1/2 cup.
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml and a metric cup (Australia, Canada, New Zealand) is 250 ml, so a metric cup of an ingredient weighs about 5–6% more than the US weights here.
Why weigh instead of using cups?
How you fill a cup changes how much goes in: scooped flour packs down, spooned flour stays loose. Weighing gives the same amount every time, which matters most for baking.
