How Much Is 500 Milliliters of Buttermilk in Ounces?
500 milliliters of buttermilk weighs 18.26 oz. This is based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 500 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 500 milliliters of buttermilk
- 1 milliliter of buttermilk = 1.04g
- 500 × 1.04 = 517.78g
- Convert grams to ounces: 517.78 ÷ 28.3495 = 18.26 oz
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?
Most kitchen measuring cups outside the US are marked in milliliters. A standard metric cup is 250 ml. When converting American recipes, 1 US cup = 236.588 ml.
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
