Understanding Honey Conversions

The Math Behind This Conversion

To convert 1 gram of honey to us cup, we divide by the density (1.42 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 1.42 g/ml = 0.7ml. Then, dividing by the us cup volume (236.59ml): 0.7ml ÷ 236.59ml = 0 us cup.

Measurement Tip

Measure honey in a liquid measuring cup (the kind with a spout) placed on a flat surface. Read the measurement at eye level, looking at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first to help it slide out easily.
