200 Grams of Sugar to Cups

Direct Kitchen Answer

200 grams of Granulated White Sugar equals 1 cup, or exactly 16 tablespoons.

For reliable recipe results, that equals 16.0 tablespoons or 48.0 teaspoons in US Customary Cup standards.

Density Note: Calibrated for Poured or scooped and leveled at a reference density of 200g per cup (0.845 g/mL).

Grams per Cup 200g / cup
Bulk Density 0.845 g/mL
Calibrated Measurement Condition: Poured or scooped and leveled
Exact Formula

Calculation & Mathematical Derivation

To convert 200 grams of Granulated White Sugar into US Customary measuring cups (236.6 mL):

Cups = Weight in Grams ÷ Grams per Cup (Bulk Density)
Cups = 200g ÷ 200g/cup = 1 cups (kitchen fraction: 1 cups)
Tablespoons = 200g ÷ 12.50g/tbsp = 16.0 tablespoons

This calculation is calibrated specifically for Poured or scooped and leveled under standard kitchen conditions (sourced from USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 169655)).

Technique Note: Standard granulated sugar crystals pack consistently. 1 cup weighs 200g (7.05 oz) across both US customary and legal standards.

Scientific Methodology for Granulated White Sugar

The conversion calculations for Granulated White Sugar are derived from peer-reviewed laboratory bulk density measurements cataloged in USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 169655). Volume calculations assume a standard US Customary culinary cup of 236.588 mL (8 US fluid ounces). Because factors such as humidity, particle size distribution, and scooping compression alter volumetric yield, weighing on a calibrated digital scale remains the gold standard in professional baking.
