A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Granulated sugars are levelled; brown sugar is packed firmly into the cup. Syrups are easiest to measure in a lightly oiled cup.
Indian cheeni crystals are often coarser but weigh about the same per cup.
Also called: white sugar, cheeni.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 g (7.1 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 211 g.
1 level tablespoon of granulated sugar is about 13 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 4.2 g.
100 g of granulated sugar is about 0.5 cups, or 8 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Granulated Sugar is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (200 g vs 237 g).
