About the Honey Weight to Volume Converter
1 US cup of honey weighs 339 g (about 12 oz) and 1 tablespoon weighs 21.2 g, from the USDA FoodData Central weight of 339 g per cup. That is a density of 1.433 g/mL, so honey weighs about 1.43 times as much as the same volume of water.
Honey by volume: grams and ounces
| Volume | Grams | Ounces |
|---|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon (tsp) | 7.06 g | 0.249 oz |
| 1 tablespoon (tbsp) | 21.2 g | 0.747 oz |
| 1 fluid ounce (fl oz) | 42.4 g | 1.49 oz |
| ½ cup | 170 g | 5.98 oz |
| 1 cup | 339 g | 12 oz |
| 1 pint (2 cups) | 678 g | 23.9 oz |
The table the converter shows, at its default density of 1.433 g/mL, in US cups and spoons.
Honey by weight: cups, tablespoons and milliliters
| Weight | Cups | Tablespoons | Milliliters |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 0.08 | 1.3 | 19.8 |
| 100 g | 0.29 | 4.7 | 69.8 |
| 250 g | 0.74 | 11.8 | 174.5 |
| 12 oz | 1 | 16.1 | 237.4 |
| 1 lb | 1.34 | 21.4 | 316.5 |
| 500 g | 1.47 | 23.6 | 348.9 |
| 2 lb | 2.68 | 42.8 | 633.1 |
| 1,000 g | 2.95 | 47.2 | 697.8 |
| 3 lb | 4.01 | 64.2 | 949.6 |
| 5 lb | 6.69 | 107 | 1582.7 |
At 1.433 g/mL, rounded as the converter rounds: 0.01 cup, 0.1 tablespoon and 0.1 mL. A jar labeled 12 oz by weight holds almost exactly 1 cup.
Supported inputs
- Volume in US cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces or milliliters
- Weight in grams, ounces or pounds
- Density from 0.1 to 5 g/mL, preset to 1.433 g/mL
Supported outputs
- The matching weight or volume in the unit you pick
- Kitchen rounding: whole grams from 100 g up, 0.01 cup, fluid ounce or pound, and 0.1 for the other units
- The amount in every volume and weight unit at once, to six decimals
- A table of common measures that is recalculated when you change the density
Methodology
Volume to weight: convert the volume to milliliters, multiply by the density in g/mL, then convert grams to the chosen weight unit. Weight to volume runs the same steps backward. The default density, 1.433 g/mL, is the USDA FoodData Central weight of 339 g for a US cup of honey divided by 236.588 mL. Unit sizes are 1 cup = 236.588 mL, 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 mL, 1 teaspoon = 4.92892 mL, 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL, 1 oz = 28.3495 g and 1 lb = 453.592 g.
Assumptions
- Cups, spoons and fluid ounces are US measures. For a 250 mL metric cup, type 250 mL: it weighs 358 g at the same density.
- Density is 1.433 g/mL unless you change it. Real honey differs with water content, temperature and crystallization.
- Ounces and pounds are avoirdupois weight. A fluid ounce is a volume and is not the same thing.
How to use this tool
- Type a volume to get the weight, or type a weight to get the volume. Filling in one side clears the other.
- Pick the units: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, mL or fluid ounces for volume, and grams, ounces or pounds for weight.
- Leave the density at 1.433 g/mL, or replace it with the figure for your honey.
Frequently asked questions
- How many grams are in a cup of honey?
- 339 g, or 11.96 oz, for a US cup at 1.433 g/mL. That is the USDA FoodData Central figure the default density is built on.
- How much does a tablespoon of honey weigh?
- 21.2 g (0.747 oz) at 1.433 g/mL; USDA and King Arthur Baking both round it to 21 g. A teaspoon is 7.06 g.
- How many cups are in a pound of honey?
- 1.34 cups, or 21.4 tablespoons (316.5 mL). A jar labeled 12 oz by weight holds almost exactly 1 cup.
- How much does 1/2 cup of honey weigh?
- 170 g (169.5 g before rounding), or 5.98 oz. A quarter cup weighs 84.8 g.
- Is a fluid ounce of honey the same as an ounce by weight?
- No. One US fluid ounce of honey weighs 42.4 g, about 1.49 oz, because honey is denser than water.
- Why does my honey weigh a little more or less than this?
- Density changes with water content, temperature and crystallization, and honey rarely fills or leaves a measuring spoon cleanly. Weigh it for baking, or type your product's density into the density box (0.1 to 5 g/mL).
