How many grams is 1 cup of honey?

One US cup of honey weighs approximately 340 grams (12 oz). Honey is much denser than water — roughly 1.42 g/mL — which is why its cup weight is significantly higher than 237 g.

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of honey?

One tablespoon of honey weighs approximately 21 grams (0.75 oz). This is based on honey's density of about 1.42 g/mL and a standard US tablespoon of 14.79 mL.

Why is honey heavier than water by volume?

Honey contains high concentrations of dissolved sugars (fructose and glucose), giving it a density of roughly 1.38–1.45 g/mL depending on water content. Water is 1.0 g/mL by comparison.

Does honey density vary by type?

Yes, slightly. Raw honey, manuka honey, and clover honey have slightly different water contents and therefore slightly different densities. The 1.42 g/mL value used here is a widely accepted average for standard liquid honey.

How do I measure honey accurately without a scale?

For the most accurate results, use a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, lightly grease your measuring cup or spoon first — honey slides out cleanly and you lose less product to sticking.
