Tag: Cups to grams conversion

According to the USDA, a standard 8-ounce liquid cup of plain, low-fat yogurt typically weighs around 227 grams. However, the specific weight of 1 cup of yogurt can vary based on factors like fat content and processing, which alter its density.

The density of milk is slightly higher than water, meaning 300 grams of milk does not equal exactly 300 milliliters or 1.25 US cups. This seemingly small difference is actually quite significant for bakers, as measuring ingredients by weight ensures precision and consistent results in recipes, especially compared to the less accurate volumetric method of using cups.
