How Much Is 0.1 Cups of Raw Sugar in Grams?
0.1 cups of raw sugar equals 20.00 g. Raw sugar has a density of 200g per cup (200g per cup), which means it's moderate weight compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.1 cups of all-purpose flour would be 12.52 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.1 cups of raw sugar
- 1 cup of raw sugar = 200g
- 0.1 × 200 = 20g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw sugar should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).
Raw Sugar at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
