Explanation

Use this converter when a recipe lists cornstarch in grams and you need cups. In this converter, 100 grams of cornstarch is about 0.89 US cups.

Cornstarch can settle or compact in a measuring cup, so this page keeps one explicit cornstarch factor for sauces, baking, frying coatings, and recipe scaling.

Cornstarch uses a recorded reference of 112 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur weight chart (¼ cup=28g)

Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Particle size, aeration, settling, and whether the cup is scooped or spoon-filled can materially change the mass held by the same volume.
