How many cups is 500 grams of shortening?

500 g of shortening ≈ 2.62 cups

One US cup of shortening weighs about 191 grams, so 500 grams works out to roughly 2.62 cups. Shortening is whipped with air, so it is lighter than butter per cup — pack it firmly.

500 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.
