- how many carb at 100 gram?

Welcom, hila.

If you're talking about the "pourable" kind, according to Splenda, one cup weighs about 100 gms and there are 24 gms of carbohydrate in a cup of pourable splenda.

HTH.

This is surprisingly complicated!

There are now 4 different formulations of Splenda that I know of:

- Splenda liquid
- Splenda in single serving packets
- Splenda granular (or pourable, sold in boxes or bags)
- Splenda for Baking (a combo of dry splenda and real sugar - so avoid it)

0 g carb - liquid Splenda, any amount
0.9 g carb - 1 packet of Splenda
24.0 g carb - 1 cup of Splenda granular

Splenda granular weighs almost nothing - it's really fluffy, so 100 g. is quite a lot - about 5 to 6.5 cups* when I weighed and measured it. That makes it about 120 to 156 g. carb per 100 g. Splenda granular.

*The fact that Splenda is so fluffy and compressible makes it very hard to get an accurate volume per weight. I got two different amounts by volume when I measured 100 g. of the Splenda from two different packages I happen to have in my cupboard.

Perhaps you could write to Splenda customer service - they should be able to give you an accurate value. I've written to them a few times with questions. This is the address I have for Splenda customer service: splenda@mccus.jnj.com

Just to be clear, I didn't weigh it.

I just went by Splenda's numbers on a box I have. According to Splenda, a teaspoonful of pourable (granular) of weighs .5 gms. There are three teaspoons in a tablespoon and 16 tablespoons in a cup. That would be 48 teaspoons per cup. 48 x .5 equals 24 gms of weight per cup.

Doh! Did I ever mention that I don't speak numbers? *sigh* :o Even by their calculations, 100 gms of pourable splenda would be 4 cups and more like a 100 gms of carbs. (Sorry, hila!)

And Teel, even apart from my complete ineptitude with numbers, you're quite right about weighing the stuff. I had exactly a cup left in that box and when I weighed it, it was short of 20 gms - not 24.

Just out of curiosity, hila, what kind of recipe calls for 100 gms of Splenda?
