Worked out from 1 US cup = 341g. Cups are rounded to the nearest kitchen fraction, with what's left over in level tablespoons. If you have scales, weighing is more accurate.

Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 19350: “Syrups, corn, light”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 cup = 341g
- 1 tbsp = 22g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. The teaspoon is a third of the tablespoon. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram. Full source list.
