Ingredient Conversion
Convert granulated sugar from grams into cups with rounded kitchen-friendly values and a quick reference table.
Granulated sugar does not use the same grams-to-cups value as every other ingredient. Using a practical US cup reference, 201 grams of granulated sugar is about 1 cup.
That means 100 grams of granulated sugar is about 0.5 cups, while 200 grams is about 0.99 cups.
Granulated sugar settles densely, so cup values are usually heavier than flour for the same volume.
To convert grams to cups, divide the gram amount by the grams-per-cup reference for the ingredient. For this page, the working reference is about 201 grams per US cup.
This makes the page useful for quick kitchen checks, but a scale is still the best tool when a recipe depends on tight ratios.
