Brown sugar (packed) measurement conversions

Recipes switch between volume (cups, tablespoons and teaspoons) and weight (grams) all the time, and for brown sugar (packed) the two aren't interchangeable — you have to know the density. Brown sugar (packed) has a density of about 0.93 g/ml, which means:

• 1 cup of brown sugar (packed) ≈ 223 g
• 1 dl of brown sugar (packed) ≈ 93 g
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (packed) ≈ 14 g
• 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (packed) ≈ 4.65 g

Measuring tip. Brown sugar is measured packed — press it firmly into the cup so it holds the shape when tipped out. Loosely spooned brown sugar weighs noticeably less.
