How Much Is 50 Milliliters of Buttermilk in Grams?
50 milliliters of buttermilk weighs 51.78 g. This is based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 50 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 50 milliliters of buttermilk
- 1 milliliter of buttermilk = 1.04g
- 50 × 1.04 = 51.78g
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 Milliliter?
A milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1/1000 of a liter. It is the standard volume measurement for cooking in most countries outside the US. One cup equals approximately 236.588 milliliters.
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.
