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 Pound?

Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).

Frequently Asked Questions

About 828.06 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.
Multiply the number of cups by 150 (grams per cup for cornmeal), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 2,504 cups: 2,504 × 150 = 375,600g, then 375,600 ÷ 453.592 = 828.06 lb.
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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 828.06 lb × 453.592 = 375,600g, then 375,600g ÷ 150 = 2,504 cups. Or use the Pounds to Cups converter.
