Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 19335: “Sugars, granulated”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 serving packet = 2.8g
- 1 tsp = 4.2g
- 1 cup = 200g
- 1 serving 1 cube = 2.3g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. The tablespoon figure is the cup weight divided by 16, since USDA doesn't list a tablespoon for this ingredient. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram. Full source list.
