Approximate baking reference for granulated sugar.
Ingredient assumption
sugarThis sugar page is specific to granulated sugar and uses a standard kitchen assumption of roughly 200 grams per US cup. That makes it useful for baking and dessert prep, while still clearly signaling that weight-to-volume cooking conversions are approximate and ingredient-dependent.
Density note: 1 cup granulated sugar ≈ 200 g and 1 tsp sugar ≈ 4.2 g. This is an approximate kitchen reference, not a universal volume-to-weight rule for every ingredient.
When to use it
kitchen contextTurn weighed sugar into cup measures for quick baking prep.

Estimate sugar volume without guessing from a dense ingredient.
Important note
approximateCooking conversions like cups to grams and grams to teaspoons depend on ingredient density, packing, humidity, and how the ingredient is measured. This page is locked to granulated sugar so the assumption stays clear and the result is less misleading than a universal converter.
