Cornmeal Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert cornmeal from Ounces to Cup (US).

Cornmeal is dried corn ground to a coarse or medium texture, used for cornbread, polenta, dusting baking trays, and crisp pizza crusts. One metric cup (250 ml) of cornmeal weighs around 170 grams or 6 ounces. The grind size affects how it absorbs liquid, so weighing in grams gives a steadier result than scooping.

Coarse cornmeal packs heavier than fine, so a cup of one may weigh 15 grams more than a cup of the other. Measuring by weight removes that variation and keeps cornbread and polenta consistent.

polenta
maize meal
ground corn

Corn flour (cornstarch in North America) is a fine white starch extracted from corn, while cornmeal is the whole grain ground coarse or medium. They are not interchangeable: cornmeal adds crunch and corn flavour, corn flour thickens silently. Stick with what the recipe specifies. See our Corn Flour converter.
