How ½ cup of sweetcorn works out
One US cup of sweetcorn weighs 154 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 154 × 0.5 = 77 g. In the other direction, 77 g of sweetcorn divided by 154 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of sweetcorn (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 81.4 g.
Tip: A medium ear of corn gives about ¾ cup of kernels. Drain canned corn and pat it dry so the moisture doesn't loosen a batter.
