How many grams is 1/2 cup of vegetable oil?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of vegetable oil weighs 218 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 172370 “Oil, vegetable, soybean, refined”, portion “1 cup” = 218 grams.
1/2 cup of vegetable oil equals 109 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 115.2 grams.
How 1/2 cup of vegetable oil was converted to grams
One US cup of vegetable oil weighs 218 grams (two hundred eighteen), so multiply 1/2 by 218.
1/2 × 218 g
=109 grams
(one hundred nine grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 172370 “Oil, vegetable, soybean, refined”, portion “1 cup” = 218 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of vegetable oil is 0.46 cups there.
