Shredded, cubed, and grated cheese all have different weights per cup. Always match the form your recipe specifies.
Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) is 113.00 g. This conversion uses the ingredient's density and scales proportionally - pick an amount or try the calculator.
The most accurate way is to weigh cheddar cheese (shredded) on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.
The form of the cheese matters more than the brand. Finely grated, shredded, shaved, and cubed cheese all have very different weights per measuring cup. This conversion uses cheddar cheese (shredded), so make sure your cheese matches that form before converting.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
