In practice
Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses, which makes it moist and slightly clumpy, so recipes call for it 'firmly packed'. A packed cup weighs about 220 g on this page, while an unpacked cup could be 20% lighter. Light brown sugar has less molasses than dark, so dark gives a deeper, more caramel flavour and more moisture. Keep it airtight, since it hardens as it dries out — a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the bag will soften it.
How to convert cups of brown sugar to grams
