One cup of corn is 1.04 US cups. A US cup holds 240 ml and a metric cup 250 ml, so the gap is small and fixed for any ingredient. Use the converter above for any amount, or the volume converter linked below for millilitres, tablespoons and more.

Corn varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common corn varieties compare.

VarietyBest for
Yellow SweetEveryday grilling, boiling, and corn salads: firm kernels and a classic sweet flavour that holds up well to heat.
White SweetRaw salads and lighter side dishes: sweeter and more tender than yellow, with a delicate flavour.
Bi-ColorAn all-round option for any cooking method: a mix of yellow and white kernels in one cob.
Baby CornStir-fries, noodle dishes, and Asian-style cooking: eaten whole, cob included, with a mild crunch.

Which should I pick?

For everyday grilling, boiling, and summer salads, Yellow Sweet is the standard choice: widely available, reliably sweet, and sturdy enough for the BBQ. White Sweet delivers a sweeter, more tender bite and suits raw eating and lighter salads. Bi-Color (Sugar and Butter) is the all-purpose pick when you want both in one cob. Baby Corn suits stir-fries and Asian dishes where the whole small cob goes in.
