How to measure honey
- Ingredient state
- liquid, room temperature (temperature not specified by source)
- Measurement method
- poured, cup lightly greased
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 | Measurement method | Adopted here | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDA FoodData Central — Honey (FDC 169640)FDC ID: 169640Backup mirror reference: nutritionvalue.org mirror (backup reference) | 339 g/1 source cup (exact volume unknown) | 339g | Direct | not specified (temperature not stated) | Adopted | 2026-08-04 |

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 honey weighs approximately 339 grams when liquid, room temperature (temperature not specified by source) and measured poured, cup lightly greased.
How many grams are in ½ cup of honey?

No. A metric cup is 250 ml, while the default US cup is 240 ml. One metric cup of honey weighs approximately 353.1g.
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.
