3 Pounds of Sugar in Cups

About sugar measurements
Granulated sugar flows freely at around 0.85 g/ml, so a US cup lands near 201 g. Its hard crystals resist compacting, which keeps cup measures fairly reliable, but humidity can clump it, and a scoop from a caked bag traps voids that leave you a few grams short.
