Grams are the unit of sugar in recipes outside the US and on every Nutrition Facts label. The added sugars line counts grams: 4 g of sugar is about one teaspoon.

A US cup of granulated white sugar weighs about 200 g. Unlike flour, sugar crystals pour evenly and barely compress, so cup measurements of sugar are quite consistent from one cook to another.
