Ingredient Profile
Cheddar Cheese has a density of 113g per cup, based on USDA FoodData Central data. Shredded. Diced (not shredded) cheddar runs heavier, closer to 132g per cup.
Density can shift with brand, moisture content, or how the ingredient was packed before it reached your kitchen. Weighing on a scale removes that guesswork.
For comparison, honey is denser at 340g per cup, while panko breadcrumbs is lighter at 60g per cup — a reminder that weight per cup varies by ingredient, not by category alone.
How to Measure Cheddar Cheese in Cups
Grated cheese should be measured loosely, not packed, unless a recipe says otherwise. Shredded cheese settles quickly, so measure right after grating.
Pre-shredded bagged cheese is often coated with a starch to prevent clumping, which can make it measure slightly differently by weight than cheese freshly grated at home.
If a recipe calls for cheddar cheese by weight instead of volume, a digital kitchen scale set to grams removes any measuring-technique variation entirely — the converter at the top of this page shows both figures side by side so you can check your result either way.
