Measuring 1 Tablespoon of Granulated White Sugar in the Kitchen
Measured poured or spooned & leveled at a verified bulk density of 200g per US cup, 1 tablespoon of granulated white sugar weighs 12.5 grams (0.44 ounces). Measured using the dip scooped method (210g/cup), that same 1 tbsp holds 13.1g — a 0.6g difference in your mixing bowl.
Pour sugar directly into the measuring cup and level with a flat blade. Dry granulated sucrose crystals flow freely without trapping excessive air.
