Ingredient Conversion
Convert granulated sugar from cups into grams with rounded kitchen-friendly values and a quick reference table.
1 US cup of granulated sugar is about 201 grams.
That means 1/2 cup is about 101 grams, 1/4 cup is about 50 grams, and 2 cups is about 402 grams.
Granulated sugar settles densely, so cup values are usually heavier than flour for the same volume.
To convert cups to grams, multiply the cup amount by the grams-per-cup reference for the ingredient. On this page, the working reference is about 201 grams per US cup.
This is helpful for rewriting cup-based recipes into weight-based prep notes, especially when you want better consistency from batch to batch.
