| Standard (1×) | 30g (1.06 oz) | ⅛ cup | 29 mL |

Measuring 30g 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, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.12 US cups (⅛ cup). By contrast, using the 0% nonfat plain greek yogurt measure (245g/cup — an identical per-cup density), 30g occupies ⅛ cup (0.12 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅛ cup (1.96 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.
