How to measure crumbled feta
USDA lists Cheese, feta (FoodData Central 173420) at 150 grams for one cup, crumbled. King Arthur Baking’s chart lists feta at 2 ounces, 57 grams, per half cup, which scales to 114 grams, a 36-gram gap from USDA. The sources differ by more than usual here; where a recipe comes from King Arthur Baking, use its figure, otherwise the USDA cup weight. Half a cup by the USDA figure is 75 grams and 1/4 cup 38 grams. A 200-gram block of feta crumbles to 1.33 cups, about 1 1/3 cups, and a 150-gram block to exactly one cup.
Sources: 150 grams per US cup is the cup weight in USDA FoodData Central (open FDC entry 173420), entry “Cheese, feta, 1 cup, crumbled = 150 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
