About
Granulated sugar is a common crystalline sweetener that weighs about 7.1 ounces (201 g) per cup.
Granulated sugar has a bulk density of about 53 pounds per cubic foot (0.85 g/mL), which makes it lighter than water. It is notably heavier by volume than all-purpose flour, which typically weighs around 4.2 ounces (120 g) per cup. The tiny sucrose crystals leave small air spaces between them, allowing the sugar to pour smoothly and settle evenly into measuring containers.
From Wikipedia
Sucrose is a disaccharide, a sugar composed of glucose and fructose subunits. It is produced naturally in plants and is the main constituent of white sugar.
