Working with shredded cheddar
Shredded Cheddar sits in the dairy & cheese group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Coarsely shredded cheese is about 113 g per cup; finely shredded packs closer to 135 g.
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.
Also sold as: grated cheddar. These names refer to the same product and use the same weight per cup.
