Why Your Cup of Granulated Sugar Might Weigh Differently

Understanding key volumetric variables prevents measuring errors when converting recipes between cups and scale weights in grams.

Compaction & Particle Headspace

Scooping granulated sugar directly compresses air voids between particles, cramming up to 15 percent extra mass into the same cup volume.

Regional Cup Standard Variance

A US Customary cup holds 236.59ml (200g), a US Legal cup holds 240ml (203g), and a Metric cup holds 250ml (211g). Misidentifying cup capacity alters recipe scale mass by up to 6 percent.

Atmospheric Moisture & Settling

Particles of granulated sugar absorb ambient humidity during storage, increasing bulk density and scale readout per cup portion.
