Why Cups to Grams Conversions Change
A cup measures volume, while a gram measures weight. Ingredients have different densities, so their weights vary even in the same volume.

- 1 Cup Sugar = 200 grams (dense)
Because volume can be inconsistent, professional bakers always bake by weight (grams) for perfect accuracy.
