Frequently asked questions

How many cups is 1 cup of brown sugar (packed)?

By definition, 1 cup of brown sugar (packed) is 1 cup — but by weight that's 220g, since 1 US cup of brown sugar (packed) weighs 220 grams.

Why isn't brown sugar (packed) the same weight as flour or sugar?

Every ingredient has its own density: how tightly it packs into a measuring cup. Powdery, airy ingredients weigh less per cup than dense liquids or packed sugars, so each ingredient needs its own gram value.

Does this account for sifting or packing?

Measuring technique (spooned vs. scooped, packed vs. loose) can shift results by 10-20%. For best accuracy, use a kitchen scale.
