Demerara Sugar — Grams & Cups Converter
1 cup of demerara sugar weighs about 200 g. So 100 g ≈ 1/2 cup, 200 g ≈ 1 cup, and 300 g ≈ 1 1/2 cups. Convert any amount between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres with the calculator below.
💡 Tip: Demerara's large, hard crystals don't dissolve or cream well, so it's best sprinkled on top of muffins, cookies and crumbles for crunch, or stirred into coffee — not used for creaming with butter.
