Honey, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of honey = 340 grams · 100g = 0.29 cups
Honey is one of the densest common kitchen ingredients, with a cup weighing about 340 grams — far more than water — because it is mostly sugar with very little water. That weight, plus its stickiness, makes weighing far easier than scooping. It also browns bakes faster and keeps them moist longer than sugar.

Honey: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of honey weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of honey in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup honey | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 340 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 359 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 408 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 287 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of honey?
Because one cup of honey weighs about 340 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 340. So 100g of honey is about 0.29 cups, 200g is about 0.59 cups, 250g is about 0.74 cups, and 300g is about 0.88 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure honey accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh honey on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of honey weighs about 340 grams (12 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts honey and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Lightly oil the measuring cup (or measure any oil in the recipe first) so the honey slides straight out instead of clinging to the sides.
