Granulated Sugar — cups to grams

| ¼ cup | 50 g |
| ⅓ cup | 67 g |

| 4 cups | 800 g |
Cups measure volume, so the weight depends entirely on the ingredient — ¼ cup of sugar is 50 g, but the same ¼ cup of flour is 30 g. Flour is the worst offender for inconsistency: scooping straight from the bag compacts it and can add up to 20% extra weight. Spoon it into the cup and level it off, or better, weigh it.
