Convert Cups to Grams: Honey
Convert cups of honey to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of honey = 340g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because honey density can vary by measuring technique.
Honey Cups to Grams Table
| Cups | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 42.5g |
| 1/4 cup | 85g |
| 1/3 cup | 113.3g |
| 1/2 cup | 170g |
| 2/3 cup | 226.7g |
| 3/4 cup | 255g |
| 1 cup | 340g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 425g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 510g |
| 2 cups | 680g |
| 3 cups | 1020g |
| 4 cups | 1360g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Honey is significantly denser than water — 1 cup = 340g. Density varies slightly with water content (14-18%). Light honey: ~335g/cup. Dark honey: ~345g/cup. Coat measuring cup with oil for easy cleanup. 1 tablespoon honey = 21g.
About Honey Density
The density of honey determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 1.417g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of honey weighs 340g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of honey?
1 cup of honey weighs 340 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of honey?
1/2 cup of honey weighs 170 grams.
How many grams is 1/4 cup of honey?
1/4 cup of honey weighs 85 grams.
Does measuring technique affect the weight of honey?
Yes. Sifted honey can weigh up to 20% less than packed or scooped. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) of 340g/cup is the most reliable baseline.
