Whole-milk ricotta conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of whole-milk ricotta weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Whole-milk ricotta is denser than water (246 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
