Measuring 175g of Strained Greek Yogurt in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of strained greek yogurt weighs 245g when measured spooned & packed, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 0.71 US cups (⅔ cup + 2 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 175g occupies ⅔ cup + 2 ¼ tsp (0.71 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup + 2 ¼ tsp (11.43 tablespoons total) using spooned & packed technique. Spoon into a dry measuring cup, tapping gently on the counter to settle thick curds, and level with a flat spatula.
