Measurement notes
- Honey is thick and sticky, so pouring by volume is imprecise — weighing on a scale gives far more accurate results.
- Lightly greasing the measuring cup or spoon first helps honey slide out cleanly without leaving residue that skews the next measurement.
- Honey's density varies slightly by floral source and moisture content, so gram weights are an average.
Sources & how they compare
The adopted value and every comparison below come from the site's versioned ingredient dataset.
| Source | Reported value | Comparable source-cup value | Type | Method the source states | Adopted here | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDA FoodData Central — Honey (FDC 169640) FDC ID: 169640 Backup copy: nutritionvalue.org | 339 g per 1 cup (volume not stated) | 339g | Direct | not specified (temperature not stated) | Adopted | 2026-08-04 |
| King Arthur Baking — Ingredient Weight Chart | 21 g per 1 tablespoon (volume not stated) | 336g | Derived | not stated (the chart lists weights only) | 2026-07-18 |
Measuring step this site recommends: poured, cup lightly greased.
When sources disagree, follow your recipe: use its gram weights if it gives them, or measure the way its author did. The adopted value is one stated convention, not a correction of the other sources.
A comparable source-cup value only scales a half-cup or tablespoon serving to one source cup. When a source does not state the cup's exact volume, we do not present it as a fixed-milliliter normalization.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in 1 cup of honey?
One US cup (240 ml) of liquid honey at room temperature weighs approximately 339 grams when poured into a lightly greased cup.
How many grams are in ½ cup of honey?

Why can another honey cups-to-grams chart show a different number?
Cup size, ingredient state, and measuring method can all change the result. This page states all three and links the source observations used for the adopted value.
Can I convert honey from grams back to cups?
Yes. Use the linked Honey Grams to Cups page for the reverse calculation.
