About ounces Granulated Sugar (ounces)

Ounces of Granulated Sugar. Measured by US avoirdupois ounce (= 28.349523125 g exactly per NIST SP 811 — distinct from fluid ounce which is a volume unit). Mass-ounce measurement is preferred in US butcher/bakery/professional contexts where precision matters but the recipe uses imperial customary units. Common US baking ingredient packages list both ounces (mass) + grams: a stick of butter = 4 oz = 113 g; a 'pound' of flour = 16 oz = 454 g. CRITICAL: do NOT confuse with the troy ounce (~31.1 g — used only for precious metals) or the fluid ounce (volume unit = 29.57 mL). Granulated sugar (table sugar) is refined sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, 99.95%+ purity per USDA standards) crystallized from sugarcane or sugar beet juice. The standard 'medium-grain' US grocery sugar (Domino, C&H, Imperial, Florida Crystals) has crystal size 0.4-0.6 mm. Density ~0.845 g/mL packed (1 cup = 200 g per King Arthur standard, FDA RACC 4 g per teaspoon). Sucrose has 387 kcal/100g and dissolves readily in water (211 g/100 mL at 20°C). Different grain sizes serve different purposes: 'superfine' or 'caster sugar' (0.2-0.4 mm) for delicate batters and meringues; 'coarse' or 'sanding sugar' (0.8-1.2 mm) for topping cookies + pastries; 'demerara' (1.5-2 mm) for coffee + crusts. Sucrose plays multiple roles in baking: sweetening, browning via Maillard reactions, structure (with eggs in custards), moisture retention, and yeast nutrition. Crystalline form is shelf-stable indefinitely if kept dry. Density: 0.845 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).

About teaspoons Granulated Sugar (teaspoons)

Teaspoons of Granulated Sugar. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments.
