About cups Yogurt (cups)
Cups of Yogurt. Measured by US cup (= 240 mL = 16 US tablespoons = 48 US teaspoons per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The cup is the dominant US baking + cooking volume unit, but actual density varies significantly by how the ingredient is packed (scooped vs spooned-and-leveled — a 1-cup scoop of flour can range from 110 g to 150+ g depending on technique, which is why precise bakers use mass measurement in grams). Always level with a flat edge (the back of a knife) for accurate volumetric measurement. Yogurt is fermented milk made by adding live lactic acid bacteria cultures — typically Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus + Streptococcus thermophilus per US FDA 21 CFR 131.200 standards (additional probiotic strains Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis often added for branded 'probiotic' yogurts). Bacteria ferment lactose into lactic acid, producing characteristic tang + thicker texture (pH drops from ~6.7 in milk to ~4.5 in finished yogurt). Density ~1.050 g/mL (denser than milk due to coagulated milk proteins + lower water content; 1 cup = 245 g). Major US styles: 'regular' (Yoplait, Dannon, Stonyfield — looser texture), 'Greek-style' (Chobani — strained 3-4 times to remove whey, ~2× protein content, denser, more like sour cream), 'Icelandic skyr' (Siggi's — strained 4 times, ~3× protein, thickest), 'Australian' (Wallaby — middle-ground straining). Greek yogurt has 15-20 g protein per cup (vs 5-7 g for regular) and is the dominant US category since ~2010. Used in: smoothies, parfaits, salad dressings (tzatziki), Indian cuisine (raita, lassi, marinades for tandoori), baking substitute for sour cream. Density: 1.050 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About ounces Yogurt (ounces)
Ounces of Yogurt. Measured by US avoirdupois ounce (= 28.349523125 g exactly per NIST SP 811 — distinct from fluid ounce which is a volume unit). Mass-ounce measurement is preferred in US butcher/bakery/professional contexts where precision matters but the recipe uses imperial customary units. Common US baking ingredient packages list both ounces (mass) + grams: a stick of butter = 4 oz = 113 g; a 'pound' of flour = 16 oz = 454 g. CRITICAL: do NOT confuse with the troy ounce (~31.1 g — used only for precious metals) or the fluid ounce (volume unit = 29.57 mL).
