How many cups is 400 grams of packed brown sugar?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of packed brown sugar weighs 220 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168833 “Sugars, brown”, portion “1 cup packed” = 220 grams. In kitchen measures that is just under 1 7/8 cups.
400 grams of packed brown sugar equals 1.82 US cups; the way back, from cups to grams, is the Cups to Grams converter.
Unpacked brown sugar weighs 145 grams per cup, so the same 400 grams of it is 2.76 cups.
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 1.72 cups of that size.
How 400 grams of packed brown sugar was converted to cups
A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of packed brown sugar weighs 220 grams (two hundred twenty), so divide 400 by 220.
400 g ÷ 220 g
≈1.82 cups
(one point eight two cups)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168833 “Sugars, brown”, portion “1 cup packed” = 220 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.
