Why weigh brown sugar (packed) instead of measuring cups?
A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much brown sugar (packed) you add by weight. One US cup of brown sugar (packed) is taken as 213 g here, cited from King Arthur Baking, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on product form and how the brown sugar (packed) is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.
