Measuring 25g 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, 25 Grams (25g) translates to 0.10 US cups (1 tbsp + 2 tsp). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 25g occupies 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (0.10 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (1.63 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.
