Calculation basis: 28.3495 grams per avoirdupois ounce divided by grams per US cup.
Polenta uses a recorded reference of 163 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur Ingredient Weight Chart (Polenta, coarse ground cornmeal: 1 cup = 163g)
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.
