To convert a measurement in grams to a measurement in kilograms, divide the sugar by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 grams/kilogram.
Since one kilogram of sugar is equal to 1,000 grams, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilograms = grams ÷ 1,000
The sugar in kilograms is equal to the sugar in grams divided by 1,000.
Should You Measure Sugar by Weight or Volume?
Many experts are adamant that dry ingredients like sugar should be measured by weight instead of volume, especially when used for baking.
The reason is that the density of different sugars varies slightly, so volume measurements will likely yield an incorrect amount of ingredients. Additionally, when using a cup or tablespoon, the amount that the sugar is compressed and above or under the measurement line will alter the actual amount.
Experts recommend having a digital food scale on hand for measuring sugar rather than measuring spoons or cups for the most accurate results.
Grams and kilograms are both units used to measure sugar. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
