Sour Cream: Grams to Cups

Convert grams of sour cream to cups. 1 US cup = 230g. Sour cream is a thick, cultured cream with about 20% fat content. It measures consistently due to its thick, stable texture.

Sour cream is thicker than yoghurt but lighter than cream cheese. At 230g per cup, it falls between regular yoghurt (245g/cup) and cream cheese (227g/cup packed). Full-fat and light sour cream measure essentially the same by cup volume.
