How Much Is 678 Grams of Buttermilk in Pints?
678 grams of buttermilk equals 1.38 pt. 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 678 grams of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 678g ÷ 245g/cup = 2.77 cups × 0.5 = 1.38 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Pint?
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
