How many grams is 10 cups of cornstarch?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of cornstarch weighs 128 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 grams.

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: 1,353 grams.
How 10 cups of cornstarch was converted to grams

(one thousand two hundred eighty grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 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 cornstarch is 0.78 cups there.
