When a recipe calls for 1 cup of corn kernels and you have a bag of frozen corn or a tin, the gram count is easy to miss. One metric cup (250 ml) of drained corn kernels weighs about 154 g. This converter moves between cups, grams, tablespoons, and more, so you can measure straight from the bag or can.

Corn kernels pack tightly or loosely depending on how wet they are, so a scooped cup can vary by 10 g or more. Weighing in grams gives a steadier result when a recipe needs precision.
