Explanation

Use 227 g per US cup as the reference when converting margarine from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. This basis assumes margarine is melted or fully liquid when measured, not scooped in solid pieces.

Method & Cup Basis

Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
Applied formula: grams = cups × 227.
