Where 157 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow” = 157 g. FDC 168867

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Cornmeal (yellow, Quaker)”): 156 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 157 g (USDA).

Degermed yellow cornmeal, the common supermarket kind, weighs 157 g a cup in USDA's data, and King Arthur measures Quaker yellow at 156 g. Whole-grain and stone-ground cornmeals are lighter, around 120 to 138 g.

How to measure cornmeal by the cup

Stir it to loosen, spoon it into a dry measuring cup until heaped, then sweep the top level with the back of a knife. Do not tap or press the cup.

In the UK and Australia: polenta (fine). Metric cups there hold 250 ml, so a metric cup of cornmeal weighs about 166 g.
