Where this number comes from
The weight is taken from the USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy record "Cheese, ricotta, whole milk" (FDC ID 170851), portion "0.5 cup" = 124 g. US cups are 236.59 mL. A metric cup (250 mL) holds about 262 g, and a UK imperial cup (284 mL) about 298 g.
Real kitchens vary. Brand, humidity, how finely something is ground and how hard you pack the cup can all move the weight by 5–15%. If a recipe author gives grams, use their number.
