Ingredient questions

Granulated sugar FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of granulated sugar?

This page uses 198g per US cup as the PantryGauge reference. The named ingredient and measurement basis matter, so do not reuse the figure for a different product state.

How should granulated sugar be measured?

Scoop or spoon granulated sugar into the cup and level it. When a recipe gives grams, weighing remains the more repeatable option.

Can I use this granulated sugar conversion for another type?

Use caution. Crystal size and specialty sugars such as superfine sugar can use a different chart entry. Check the recipe's exact ingredient and, when available, its product-specific weight reference.
