Understanding the Units

What is a Liter?

A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters or approximately 4.227 US cups. It is the standard large-volume measurement for cooking worldwide outside the US.

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1,035.55 g, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of liters by 1,035.55 (grams per liter for buttermilk). For 1 liter: 1 × 1,035.55 = 1,035.55 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of buttermilk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1,035.55 g ÷ 1,035.55 = 1 liter. Or use the Grams to Liters converter.
