Use this converter as a practical estimate. Sugar weight can vary based on type, packing, moisture, brand, and measuring method.
Your result shows the entered sugar amount converted into the selected unit. The converter also displays cups, grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms, tablespoons, teaspoons, and milliliters for quick recipe reference.
Sugar conversions are ingredient-specific because cups measure volume and grams measure weight. Packed brown sugar, powdered sugar, honey, and granulated sugar do not weigh the same per cup.
One US cup of granulated sugar is commonly estimated at about 200 grams.
For granulated sugar, 2 US cups is about 400 grams.
One US cup of packed brown sugar is commonly estimated at about 220 grams.
One US cup of powdered sugar is commonly estimated at about 120 grams.
Grams are usually better for baking because weighing sugar is more consistent than measuring by volume.
