Why density matters

Brown Sugar (packed) has a density of 0.9 g/ml. Compare that to water at 1.0 g/ml — a lighter ingredient will give a lower gram count per cup. Generic converters that assume 240g per cup for everything would give you 27g more than the actual weight — which can ruin precision bakes.
