Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups is 200 grams of Greek yogurt?
200 grams of Greek yogurt equals 0.70 cups, or approximately 2/3 cup. This is a common single-serve container size in many countries.
Is 100g of Greek yogurt the same as 100ml?
No, Greek yogurt is denser than water. 100g of Greek yogurt equals approximately 83ml (not 100ml). The density of Greek yogurt is about 1.2g/ml.
Why do European recipes use grams for yogurt?
European recipes use weight (grams) because it's more accurate than volume. Yogurt density varies by brand and fat content, so 200g is always 200g, but "1 cup" could be 240-290g depending on the product.
