Greek Yogurt (Plain) – grams to cups
Greek yogurt is strained, creating a dense, protein-rich texture. Because it is semi-solid, measuring by 'cup' is notoriously inaccurate due to air pockets forming when you spoon it in. Weighing eliminates this 'packing error' ensuring your dips and cakes have the exact moisture content intended.

FAQ
- Can I substitute Regular Yogurt for Greek Yogurt?
- Only if you strain it. Regular yogurt has much more water (whey). Using it directly in place of Greek yogurt will make batters too runny and cakes soggy. Use 30% less volume or strain it through a cheesecloth.
