Sources & how they compare
| 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 |
| King Arthur Baking — Ingredient Weight Chart | 21 g/1 source tbsp (exact volume unknown) | 336g | Derived | poured, cup/spoon lightly greased | 2026-07-18 |
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.
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.
Common mistakes
- Not measuring honey the recommended way — poured, cup lightly greased — is one of the most common sources of error.
- Assuming 1 cup of honey equals 240g like water — it is actually 339g per US cup.
- Measuring a thick, sticky liquid by volume instead of weighing it on a scale.
Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 100 grams of honey?
100 grams of honey is about 0.29 cups, based on 1 US cup (240 ml) = 339g.
How many grams are in 1 cup of honey?
1 US cup of honey is about 339 grams, measured poured, cup lightly greased.
Does 1 cup of honey weigh the same in a metric cup?
No. A metric cup (250 ml) holds slightly more than a US cup (240 ml), so 1 metric cup of honey is about 353.1g, compared with 339g in a US cup.
What's the best way to measure honey accurately?
For the most accurate result, poured, cup lightly greased, and use a kitchen scale when your recipe calls for a precise weight.
Can I convert cups of honey back to grams?
Yes, use the Cups to Grams tool with honey selected to convert any cup amount back into grams.
Why does honey convert differently from other ingredients?
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the conversion depends on how dense honey is. A cup of honey weighs 339g, while a denser or lighter ingredient weighs a different amount per cup.
Where do these numbers come from?
See how we measure ingredient density and verify each grams-per-cup value.
