How Much Is 180 Grams of Cheddar Cheese (Shredded) in Cups?
Converting 180 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded) to cups gives 1.59 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 180 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
- 180g ÷ 113g/cup = 1.59 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
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.
