How many cups is 12 grams of granulated sugar?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of granulated sugar weighs 200 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams.
12 grams of granulated sugar equals 0.06 US cups; the way back, from cups to grams, is the Cups to Grams converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup of 250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is 5.7 % larger, so the same weight fills 0.0568 cups of that size.
How 12 grams of granulated sugar was converted to cups
A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of granulated sugar weighs 200 grams (two hundred), so divide 12 by 200.
12 g ÷ 200 g
=0.06 cups
(zero point zero six cups)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
