Greek Yogurt (Plain): How Many Grams in a Tablespoon?

By Fidamen-Chefsolver Team | Reviewed by Ugo Candido | Updated

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.
How much does 1 cup of Greek yogurt weigh versus regular plain yogurt?
One US cup of strained Greek yogurt weighs 241 g (density 1.02 g/mL, USDA). Regular full-fat plain yogurt is slightly less dense at 1.03 g/mL, giving about 244 g per cup. Use the values on this page only for thick strained Greek-style yogurt.
