}Explanation
Convert ounces by weight of demerara sugar to US cups with the same ounce-per-cup reference used in reverse.
Recipe or label weights can therefore be measured in cups on one consistent basis. That is especially useful for baking, syrups, and dessert prep where sweetness and structure depend on repeatable weight. Demerara Sugar can vary with crystal size, moisture, and caking, so the page keeps one explicit basis instead of mixing packing styles.
