Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 558 ounces of cornmeal
- Convert ounces to grams: 558 × 28.35 = 15,819.03g
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
