Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 13.75g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 160 tablespoons of brown sugar
  2. 1 tablespoon of brown sugar = 13.75g
  3. 160 × 13.75 = 2,200g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Light and dark brown sugar have the same density per cup (220g). The difference is molasses content, which affects flavor but not weight.
