The Sugar Cube app provides a visual to help you see how much sugar is in your food based on the number of grams of sugar.
Pros
Visual aids translate grams of sugar to the equivalence in cubes, teaspoons or sugar packets.
Measures are fairly accurate per cube when checked for grams per cube or teaspoon.
Measures sugar grams from 0-100 grams.
A landscape orientation shows an animated view of sugar being poured into the respective volume in grams.
Cons
Difficult to adjust the sliding meter to achieve an accurate gram reading at times.
Crude graphics
Bottom Line
Next time you pick up a cola, this app will help you visualize how many teaspoons of sugar you’re drinking. It’s handy and makes a good visual aid for consumers, health professionals and educators alike.
