Ingredient questions

Cornmeal (whole) FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of whole cornmeal?

King Arthur Baking lists 138g for 1 US cup of whole cornmeal.

Why does cornmeal have more than one cup weight?

The chart separately lists whole cornmeal and yellow Quaker cornmeal. Grind, brand, and particle size change the air space, so PantryGauge names the whole-cornmeal basis instead of hiding that distinction.

How should cornmeal be measured?

Stir it, spoon it into a dry cup, and level it. If a recipe names a specific brand or grind, use that product's instructions when available.
