¼ cup honey in grams
¼ cup of honey = 85 grams · 3 oz · 4 tbsp
That is a quarter cup, poured to the line and read at eye level. A full US cup of honey weighs 340 g, so ¼ cup comes to 85 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 340 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How ¼ cup of honey works out
One US cup of honey weighs 340 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 340 × 0.25 = 85 g. In the other direction, 85 g of honey divided by 340 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of honey (12 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 89.8 g.
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.
