How many cups is 100 grams of shortening?
100 g of shortening ≈ 0.524 cups
One US cup of shortening weighs about 191 grams, so 100 grams works out to roughly 0.524 cups. Shortening is whipped with air, so it is lighter than butter per cup — pack it firmly.
100 g is a common recipe quantity, but cups measure volume, not weight. For the most reliable result, weigh shortening with a kitchen scale rather than scooping — see why weighing wins.
