Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 185.32 g, based on cottage cheese having a density of 226g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 226 (grams per cup for cottage cheese). For 0.82 cups: 0.82 × 226 = 185.32 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh cottage cheese on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 185.32 g ÷ 226 = 0.82 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
