Honey Cups to Grams Converter

About this calculator

Honey is roughly 1.4 times denser than water, so a standard US cup (236.6 mL) of honey weighs about 340 grams rather than the 236 grams a cup of water would weigh — a difference big enough to throw off a recipe if honey is measured by volume with a water-calibrated scale assumption. This converter applies that 340 g/cup ratio in either direction, cup-to-gram or gram-to-cup.

Because honey is thick and clings to measuring cups, weighing it on a kitchen scale is generally more accurate and less messy than scooping it, which is why bakers, recipe developers and food manufacturers scaling a batch up or converting a recipe between weight- and volume-based instructions rely on a fixed conversion factor like this one rather than treating honey as if it were water.
