About teaspoons Yogurt (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of Yogurt. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments. 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 grams Yogurt (grams)
Grams of Yogurt. Measured by mass in grams (g) — the metric base mass unit used in scientific + international + professional baking contexts. Mass measurement is more accurate than volume measurement because it eliminates packing-density variation (1 cup of flour can vary 10-20% by mass depending on aerated-vs-packed scoop technique). Most modern baking + pastry recipes from professional pastry chefs (Sébastien Bruno, Pierre Hermé, Stella Parks 'BraveTart', Cook's Illustrated) specify gram measurements. A small digital kitchen scale (~$15-30) provides 1-g resolution.
