Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 01040: “Cheese, swiss”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 cup, diced = 132g
- 1 cup, melted = 244g
- 1 cup, shredded = 108g
- 1 oz = 28.35g
- 1 cubic inch = 15g
- 1 slice (1 oz) = 28g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. The tablespoon figure is the cup weight divided by 16, since USDA doesn't list a tablespoon for this ingredient. 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.
