Brown sugar (dark or light, packed): grams per cup

King Arthur Baking lists 1 cup of brown sugar (dark or light, packed) at 213 g, which works out to 213 g per US cup, 13.3 g per tablespoon and 4.44 g per teaspoon. So 100 g of brown sugar (dark or light, packed) is about 1/2 cup (0.47 cups).

Granulated sugars pack fairly consistently, so cup measures are more reliable than for flour; brown sugar is measured packed.
