Honey: Cups to Grams
One US cup (240 ml) of honey weighs 340 grams; half a cup weighs 170 grams. A quarter cup is 85 grams, a tablespoon is 21.3 grams and a teaspoon is 7.08 grams. A cup measures volume, not weight, so these numbers are for honey only: a cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams.
340 g
1 cup of honey = 340 g (US legal cup, 240 ml)

Ounces here are ounces of weight (1 oz = 28.35 g), not fluid ounces. One US cup is 8 fluid ounces of volume whatever is in it, but what it weighs in ounces depends on the ingredient: a cup of honey weighs about 12 oz. Why these two are not the same. Decimals for thirds are rounded (1/3 cup is 0.333 cups), and each linked amount opens a page comparing every ingredient at that measure.

About measuring honey
Honey is one of the densest things you will measure in a kitchen, so a cup of it weighs far more than a cup of water. One US cup is about 340 grams. Its stickiness makes volume measuring frustrating, since a good spoonful clings to the cup and never fully pours out. Weighing straight into the mixing bowl solves that: set the bowl on the scale, zero it, and drizzle honey until you hit the target grams.
Weigh honey straight into the bowl. It is too sticky to measure cleanly by volume.
How many grams is a cup of honey?
One US cup (240 ml) of honey weighs about 340 grams. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, that figure is specific to honey and does not transfer to any other ingredient: the same cup holds 125 grams of all-purpose flour and 340 grams of honey.
- 1/4 cup of honey is about 85 grams
- 1/3 cup of honey is about 113 grams
- 1/2 cup of honey is about 170 grams
- 2/3 cup of honey is about 227 grams
- 3/4 cup of honey is about 255 grams
- 1 1/2 cups of honey is about 510 grams
- 2 cups of honey is about 680 grams
- 3 cups of honey is about 1020 grams
Working the other way round, 100 grams of honey is about 0.294 cups, and 500 grams is about 1.47 cups.
Does it matter which cup my recipe means?
It does, though less than the ingredient itself. This page uses the US legal cup of 240 ml. An Australian metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of honey comes to about 354 grams, and the old British imperial cup of 284.1 ml holds about 403 grams. See cup sizes by country for every standard side by side.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of honey?
One US cup of honey is about 340 grams. Honey is denser than water, so a cup weighs considerably more than a cup of most liquids.
How many grams is a tablespoon of honey?
About 21 grams. Honey is dense and sticky, so a level tablespoon carries more weight than the same spoon of a thin liquid.
Can I swap honey for sugar by weight?
Honey is sweeter and adds moisture, so a straight swap changes texture. As a rough guide use about three quarters the weight of honey for sugar and cut other liquids slightly.
How many tablespoons is half a cup of honey?
Half a cup of honey is 8 tablespoons, because a US cup holds 16. Each tablespoon of honey weighs 21.3 grams.
How many grams is half a cup of honey?
Half a cup of honey weighs 170 grams, or 6 ounces by weight. Honey is heavy for its volume, so the same half cup of water would weigh only 120 grams.
Where this figure comes from
We have not yet found a published reference that states a weight for a cup of honey. The 340 grams on this page follows the calibration the rest of the site is built on, with butter at 227 grams per cup, water at 240, all-purpose flour at 125 and granulated sugar at 200. Treat it as a good working figure rather than a cited one. If you have a better source, tell us and we will check it and credit you.
Published figures for the same ingredient vary between references anyway, because how an ingredient is packed changes what a cup of it weighs. Treat any cup figure as accurate to within a few percent, and weigh on a scale when a recipe is sensitive. Our full approach is on the methodology page.
