If you're looking at a recipe that calls for 200g UNCOOKED vermicelli, look on your vermicelli box which will give you a weight, probably in metric. Just use an amount that seems properly proportional to the total amount in the box ... for instance, if the box is new and holds a total of 453 grams vermicelli, use a little less than half of the contents of the box in your recipe.

If, on the other hand, you're using a recipe that calls for X cups COOKED vermicelli and you're trying to figure out how many grams of vermicelli to cook to get the X cups, it would be dangerous for me to try to help you off the cuff. Maybe the box, again, though, will give you some idea -- look at the number of servings/nutritional information on the box and see if it gives you some clues.

Another user has just posted alink to a site that gives denisties for lots of powder substances.

Suggests that the density of granulated sugar is 0.70g/cm³, so 200g of sugar is about 1 metric cup + 2 metric tablespoons.

That was me. It IS a pretty good source, but like most compilations, sometimes its values conflict with other sources.

For foodstuffs, I think I prefer the USDA Nutritional Database:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

It has a clunky search engine on the front end. Once you find what you want, you can choose the amount (in several units) that you want an analysis for and get a complete nutritional analysis. Data is supplied by US food producers, so it is most accurate for foods available in the US.

For density, (hardly its main use) submit an amount in cups, tablespoons, etc, and it reports a weight in grams as part of the analysis. Per it, white sugar is 200 g/cup (a US cup, 236.6 mL, although 240 mL is common as a "rounded" value)

A second approach is to look at the box or package of sugar. Most in addition to nutrition facts panel give you either a cups/pound or cups/package figure. 1 lb = 453.6 g, or total package weight is reported in both Customary and metric (by law) so conversion is pretty easy. For any bulk powder, grind affects density, and the second method will include any effects of that producer's grind and be the most accurate.

Oh Look! Robert's got them here! Go to the "cooking" section on the home page of this site:

http://www.onlineconversion.com/weig...me_cooking.htm

This gives 200g granulated sugar as just over 1 US cup.

Soooo sorry Robert, how did I miss that? - Still having these senior blond moments, i guess.
