140 Grams of Sugar to Cups
140 grams of granulated sugar equals ⅔ cup (0.7 US cups), based on 200 g per cup (level cup). In the kitchen, measure 11 tbsp. For best results, weigh granulated sugar with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
This is a typical single-recipe amount, where how you fill the cup matters most: a level, consistent fill keeps batches repeatable.

How to measure 140 g of granulated sugar without a scale
