Working with granulated sugar
Granulated Sugar sits in the sugars & syrups group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Granulated sugar barely compacts, which makes it one of the few dry ingredients where a cup is genuinely repeatable.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
Also sold as: white sugar, table sugar. These names refer to the same product and use the same weight per cup.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a cup of granulated sugar?
One US cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 grams (7.05 oz). Granulated sugar barely compacts, which makes it one of the few dry ingredients where a cup is genuinely repeatable.
How many grams are in a tablespoon of granulated sugar?
One US tablespoon holds about 12.5 g, and one teaspoon about 4.17 g, since a tablespoon is 14.79 ml and a teaspoon 4.93 ml.
How many cups is 100 g of granulated sugar?
100 grams of granulated sugar is roughly 0.5 US cups. Weighing is more reliable than filling a cup, especially for sugars & syrups.
Where does this figure come from?
The density used here is 0.845 g/ml, based on FAO / INFOODS density database. Treat it as an approximation: real batches vary with brand, moisture and how the cup is filled.
