How Much Is 100 Grams of Cheddar Cheese (Shredded) in Cups?
Converting 100 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded) to cups gives 0.88 cups. Divide by the density of cheddar cheese (shredded) (113g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 100 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
- 100g ÷ 113g/cup = 0.88 cups
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 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.
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.
