Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 10 teaspoons of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar = 4.58g
- 10 × 4.58 = 45.83g

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.
