A quart of milk is a unit of liquid measurement commonly used in the United States. It is part of the U.S. customary system and equals 32 fluid ounces, or 4 cups. A quart is also one-fourth of a gallon, making it a convenient way to measure smaller quantities of liquid.
For context:
- 1 quart = 2 pints
- 1 quart = 4 cups
- 1 quart = 32 fluid ounces
Quarts are often used in recipes and grocery shopping, especially for dairy products like milk, cream, or buttermilk. If you’re outside the U.S., you might use liters instead, where 1 quart is roughly 0.946 liters. So, when a recipe calls for a quart of milk, you’ll know it’s just the right amount for cooking, baking, or drinking.
