How Much Is 3.4 Cups of Raw Sugar in Grams?
3.4 cups of raw sugar equals 680.00 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, 3.4 cups of all-purpose flour would be 425.54 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.4 cups of raw sugar
- 1 cup of raw sugar = 200g
- 3.4 × 200 = 680g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Raw sugar weighs 200g per cup. Different sugar types have different densities, so always use the specific type your recipe calls for.
Raw Sugar at Different Amounts

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
