Sugar Grams to Cups
One cup of granulated sugar weighs exactly 200 grams, which makes sugar one of the easiest ingredients to convert — 100g is ½ cup, 50g is ¼ cup, no awkward fractions.
Unlike flour, granulated sugar barely compresses, so scooping it straight from the bag is fine. Just note that this page is for white granulated sugar: brown sugar (packed) weighs 220g per cup and powdered sugar only 120g — they have their own pages.
