Batch Scaling Around 150g Granulated White Sugar
| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 75g (2.65 oz) | ⅓ cup + 2 tsp | 88.7 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 150g (5.29 oz) | ¾ cup | 177.4 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 225g (7.94 oz) | 1 ⅛ cups | 266.2 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 300g (10.58 oz) | 1 ½ cups | 354.9 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 450g (15.87 oz) | 2 ¼ cups | 532.3 mL |
Measuring 150g of Granulated White Sugar in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of granulated white sugar weighs 200g when measured poured or spooned & leveled, 150 Grams (150g) translates to 0.75 US cups (¾ cup). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (210g/cup — a 10g per-cup shift), 150g occupies ⅔ cup + 2 ¼ tsp (0.71 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup (12 tablespoons total) using poured or spooned & leveled technique. Pour sugar directly into the measuring cup and level with a flat blade. Dry granulated sucrose crystals flow freely without trapping excessive air.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups is 150 grams of granulated white sugar? ▾
150 grams of granulated white sugar (poured or spooned & leveled, 200g per US cup) equals ¾ cup (0.75 US Customary Cups, 0.71 Metric 250 mL cups, or 12 tablespoons).
Why does granulated sugar weigh exactly 200 grams per cup? ▾
Pure sucrose crystals pack into a uniform bulk density of approximately 0.85 g/cm³, arriving reliably at 200g per US cup.
Does granulated sugar absorb moisture from the air? ▾
Yes, prolonged humidity causes surface dissolution and clumping; store in a dry, sealed airtight canister.
