How many grams is 1 cup of maple syrup?

One US cup of pure maple syrup weighs approximately 322 grams (11.4 oz). Maple syrup is denser than water — roughly 1.33 specific gravity, or 1.36 g/mL — which is why its cup weight is higher than 237 g.

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of maple syrup?

One tablespoon of maple syrup weighs approximately 20 grams (0.7 oz). This is based on maple syrup's density of about 1.36 g/mL and a standard US tablespoon of 14.79 mL.

Why is maple syrup heavier than water by volume?

Maple syrup is roughly two-thirds dissolved sugar by weight after boiling down from sap, giving it a specific gravity around 1.33. Water is 1.0 g/mL by comparison, so the same volume of syrup weighs more.

Does maple syrup density vary by grade?

Only slightly. Golden, amber, dark, and very dark maple syrup grades differ mainly in flavor and sugar-boiling stage, not meaningfully in density. The 322 g/cup figure is a widely accepted average for pure maple syrup.

How do I measure maple syrup 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 — maple syrup pours out cleanly and you lose less product to sticking.
