To convert a measurement in quarts to a measurement in ounces, multiply the sugar by the following conversion ratio: 28.21917 ounces/quart.

Since one quart of sugar is equal to 28.21917 ounces, you can use this simple formula to convert:

ounces = quarts × 28.21917

The sugar in ounces is equal to the sugar in quarts multiplied by 28.21917.

How Many Ounces Are in a Quart of Sugar?

There are 28.21917 ounces in a quart of sugar, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 qt = 28.21917 oz

Experts often recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight for accuracy,^[1] but some recipes use volume, and many home cooks don't own a digital scale. Converting between weight and volume can be tricky depending on sugar densities such as granulated, brown sugar, or powdered sugar.

This table shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of various types of sugar to help with the conversion.

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.
