🔬 Why Different Sugars Weigh Differently

Crystal Size Matters

  • Granulated: Medium crystals, standard density
  • Caster: Finer crystals, packs more densely (+12%)
  • Powdered: Ultra-fine with cornstarch, very light (-40%)
  • Brown: Molasses coating adds weight (+10%)

Measuring Tips

Granulated & Caster: Scoop and level

Brown Sugar: Pack firmly! Check our brown sugar guide for the packed vs loose difference

Powdered: Sift first, then spoon lightly

The same measuring principles apply to flour conversions and butter measurements
