So 100g of turbinado sugar is about 0.5 cups, 200g is about 1 cups, 250g is about 1.25 cups, and 300g is about 1.5 cups.

How to measure turbinado sugar accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh turbinado sugar on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of turbinado sugar weighs about 200 grams (7.05 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts turbinado sugar and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Swap turbinado for granulated when you want crunch on top, but stick to granulated within batters where the big crystals won't fully dissolve.
