}Explanation
Convert 1 US cup of greek yogurt to ounces by weight with an ingredient-specific cup reference.
The result is mass, not fluid ounces. That is especially useful for dips, toppings, baking mixes, and other prep where a scooped or measured volume needs to match a target weight more closely. The reverse conversion uses the same ounce-per-cup reference.
