Frequently Asked Questions

About 498.35 lb, based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.

For the most accurate results, weigh cornmeal on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
