0.1 cups of cornstarch equals 12.80 g. Cornstarch has a density of 128g per cup (128g per cup), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.1 cups of honey would be 34 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.1 cups of cornstarch
- 1 cup of cornstarch = 128g
- 0.1 × 128 = 12.8g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects cornstarch weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.
