Important Considerations for Sour Cream:
Sour cream has a density similar to regular plain yogurt. 1 US cup of sour cream typically weighs around **227-240 grams** (approximately 8 to 8.5 ounces).
The exact weight can vary slightly based on fat content and brand.
Always stir sour cream before measuring if it has separated, to ensure consistent density.
For most recipes, volume measurements are common. However, for baking where precision is key, measuring by weight using a kitchen scale provides greater accuracy.
