Plain Yogurt: US Cups & tbsp to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion
Convert volumes of plain, unsweetened yogurt (regular or Greek-style, though Greek is denser) measured in US cups and tablespoons to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz).

Important Considerations for Yogurt:
The weight of yogurt can vary based on its type (e.g., regular, Greek-style, Skyr) and fat content. Greek yogurt is significantly denser than regular plain yogurt due to straining.
For regular plain yogurt, 1 US cup weighs approximately 240-250 grams (about 8.5-8.8 ounces).
For Greek yogurt, 1 US cup can weigh around 270-280 grams (about 9.5-9.9 ounces). This chart uses a general range.
Always stir yogurt before measuring if it has separated.
For precision in baking, measuring yogurt by weight with a kitchen scale is recommended, especially if the type (regular vs. Greek) is critical.
