How Much Is 490 Grams of Buttermilk in Fluid Ounces?
490 grams of buttermilk equals 16.00 fl oz. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 490 grams of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 490g ÷ 245g/cup = 2 cups × 8 = 16.00 fluid ounces
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
A US fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume equal to 29.574 milliliters or 1/8 of a cup. It measures liquid volume and should not be confused with the ounce (oz), which measures weight.
