How Much Is 17.01 Cups of Parmesan (Finely Grated) in Grams?
17.01 cups of parmesan (finely grated) weighs 1,360.80 g. This is based on parmesan (finely grated) having a density of 80g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 17.01 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 17.01 cups of parmesan (finely grated)
- 1 cup of parmesan (finely grated) = 80g
- 17.01 × 80 = 1,360.8g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always shred or grate cheese before measuring by volume. A cup of block cheese weighs much more than a cup of shredded.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
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.
