Honey: cups to grams

Honey is heavy for its volume: a cup weighs about 340 g, well over the 237 g of a cup of water. Weighing it straight into the bowl is also far less messy than scraping out measuring cups.

1 cup of honey = 340 g

½ cup = 170 g · ¼ cup = 85 g · 1 tablespoon = 20 g

400 gabout 1⅛ cups
500 gabout 1½ cups
1 kgabout 3 cups

Weigh it in

Put the bowl on the scale, press tare, and pour honey in until you reach the weight. No sticky cups to wash.

Other syrups

Maple syrup and corn syrup are a little lighter (about 312 g per cup) and molasses about the same as honey (340 g). Find each one in the calculator.

Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml), spooned in, based on standard US baking references. Weighing will always be more accurate than any cup.
