About cups Raw Sugar (cups)
Cups of Raw Sugar. Measured by US cup (= 240 mL = 16 US tablespoons = 48 US teaspoons per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The cup is the dominant US baking + cooking volume unit, but actual density varies significantly by how the ingredient is packed (scooped vs spooned-and-leveled — a 1-cup scoop of flour can range from 110 g to 150+ g depending on technique, which is why precise bakers use mass measurement in grams). Always level with a flat edge (the back of a knife) for accurate volumetric measurement. Raw sugar (turbinado sugar, demerara sugar, muscovado, evaporated cane juice) is partially refined sucrose retaining natural molasses content from the original cane juice (1-2% molasses for turbinado/demerara; 3-5% for dark muscovado per UK Tate + Lyle standards). The signature golden-brown crystals are larger than typical white sugar (1.0-1.5 mm crystal size). Density ~0.832 g/mL (1 cup = 200 g typical). Major brands: C&H Washed Raw Sugar, Florida Crystals Natural Cane Turbinado, Domino Demerara, Billington's Muscovado. Raw sugar is the traditional sweetener for coffee + tea (the larger crystals dissolve slowly + maintain pleasant texture in stirring); for topping muffins, scones, + crème brûlée crusts (where bigger crystals provide caramelized crunch); + in BBQ rubs. Note that 'raw' is somewhat misleading — all commercial raw sugars are pasteurized and partially refined for food safety; truly unrefined 'whole cane sugar' (jaggery, panela, rapadura) is sold separately. Density: 0.832 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About grams Raw Sugar (grams)
Grams of Raw Sugar. Measured by mass in grams (g) — the metric base mass unit used in scientific + international + professional baking contexts. Mass measurement is more accurate than volume measurement because it eliminates packing-density variation (1 cup of flour can vary 10-20% by mass depending on aerated-vs-packed scoop technique). Most modern baking + pastry recipes from professional pastry chefs (Sébastien Bruno, Pierre Hermé, Stella Parks 'BraveTart', Cook's Illustrated) specify gram measurements. A small digital kitchen scale (~$15-30) provides 1-g resolution. Raw sugar (turbinado sugar, demerara sugar, muscovado, evaporated cane juice) is partially refined sucrose retaining natural molasses content from the original cane juice (1-2% molasses for turbinado/demerara; 3-5% for dark muscovado per UK Tate + Lyle standards).
