Single-conversion pages for cornmeal
Working with cornmeal
Cornmeal sits in the flours & starches group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Fine, medium and coarse grinds vary by roughly 10 g per cup. This figure is for a medium grind.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in a cup of cornmeal?
One US cup of cornmeal weighs about 138 grams (4.87 oz). Fine, medium and coarse grinds vary by roughly 10 g per cup. This figure is for a medium grind.
How many grams are in a tablespoon of cornmeal?
One US tablespoon holds about 8.63 g, and one teaspoon about 2.88 g, since a tablespoon is 14.79 ml and a teaspoon 4.93 ml.
How many cups is 100 g of cornmeal?
100 grams of cornmeal is roughly 0.725 US cups. Weighing is more reliable than filling a cup, especially for flours & starches.
Where does this figure come from?
The density used here is 0.583 g/ml, based on FAO / INFOODS density database. Treat it as an approximation: real batches vary with brand, moisture and how the cup is filled.
