Why Grams Have Different Cup Values
Cups measure volume, while grams measure weight. Light, airy ingredients take up more space per gram than dense ingredients, so the same weight gives different cup counts.
How to Measure More Accurately
For sugar, spoon it into the cup and level it off, and do not pack it unless the recipe says packed. A kitchen scale remains the most accurate method.
