About Granulated Sugar
Granulated sugar is the most common form of sucrose used in baking. Its uniform crystal size provides consistent sweetness and contributes to browning, texture, and moisture retention in baked goods. It is also commonly known as white sugar or table sugar or caster sugar.
Granulated Sugar has a density of 0.845 g/ml when measured using the Spoon & Level method. Like all dry ingredients, the measurement method significantly affects the volume.
This ingredient belongs to the sugar category and is classified as a dry ingredient. Per 100g, it provides 387 calories,0g protein, 99.98g carbohydrates, and 0g fat.
Density data sourced from USDA FoodData Central. US Cup = 236.588ml (NIST). Results are estimates - actual volume may vary by ±5% depending on brand and batch.

Expert Tips
Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled, not packed. It does not compress like brown sugar.
For the most accurate sugar measurement, use a kitchen scale. 1 cup of granulated sugar weighs approximately 200g.
Sugar is hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture from the air. Store in an airtight container to prevent clumping.
