  2. 1 cup of sour cream = 230g
  3. 0.33 × 230 = 75.9g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Sour cream weighs 230g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring cup without pressing down too firmly.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 75.90 g, based on sour cream having a density of 230g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 230 (grams per cup for sour cream). For 0.33 cups: 0.33 × 230 = 75.90 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh sour cream 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: 75.90 g ÷ 230 = 0.33 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
