Buttermilk: mL to Grams (g) Converter
Buttermilk is heavier than water, so 1 mL does not simply equal 1 gram. This converter uses the real density of buttermilk (about 1.03 g per mL) to turn any volume you enter into an accurate weight - and lets you switch to any of our other 85 ingredients without leaving the page.

Buttermilk: mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists buttermilk in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of buttermilk weighs about 103 g. Buttermilk is heavier than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 1.03
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 1.03
Worked Examples
- 15 mL of buttermilk = 15.5 g
- 250 mL of buttermilk = 257.5 g
- 200 g of buttermilk = 194.2 mL
Common Kitchen Measures
- 1 teaspoon (4.93 mL) = 5.1 g
- 1 tablespoon (14.79 mL) = 15.2 g
- 1/4 cup (59.1 mL) = 60.9 g
- 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) = 121.8 g
- 1 cup (236.6 mL) = 243.7 g
Why Buttermilk Weighs What It Does
Cultured buttermilk is low in fat and rich in milk solids. That keeps it a touch denser than water, at about 1.03 g per mL, which is close to skimmed milk.
Measuring Tips
Shake or stir the carton before measuring, because the thicker part can settle. If you measure by weight, the thickness stops mattering.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 100 mL of buttermilk?
About 103 g, using a density of 1.03 g per mL.
How many mL is 100 g of buttermilk?
About 97.1 mL.
Can I use milk with lemon juice in place of buttermilk?
Many bakers do, and the weight is close, since both are near 1.03 g per mL. The texture and tang are not identical, so treat it as a fair substitute, not an exact one.
