Common Questions

How many grams is 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt?

1/2 cup of Greek yogurt = 142 grams. This is the most common measurement in baking recipes, especially when replacing oil or butter in muffins and quick breads.

How many cups is 100g of Greek yogurt?

100g of Greek yogurt = 0.35 cups (about 1/3 cup). This is a common single-serve container size in many countries.

Is Greek yogurt heavier than regular yogurt?

Yes. Greek yogurt (285g/cup) is 16% denser than regular yogurt (245g/cup) because it's strained to remove whey. Never substitute measurements 1:1 when switching between them.

Can I replace butter with Greek yogurt in baking?

Yes! Replace half the butter with Greek yogurt. For example: if a recipe calls for 1 cup butter (227g), use 1/2 cup butter + 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (142g). This saves 400 calories while adding protein.

Why did my Greek yogurt curdle when heated?

Greek yogurt's high protein content causes it to curdle when heated too quickly. To prevent: bring to room temperature first, add hot liquid gradually (tempering), or stir in 1 tablespoon flour per cup before heating.

What's the difference between Greek yogurt brands by weight?

Brand weights vary 5-10g per cup: Fage (290g), Chobani (285g), Oikos (275g), Siggi's (295g). For baking consistency, stick with one brand or weigh your first measurement.

Is 100g the same as 100ml for Greek yogurt?

No. Greek yogurt is denser than water. 100g of Greek yogurt equals approximately 83ml (not 100ml). The density is about 1.2g/ml.
