In short
One gram of honey is 0.0029411765 us cup. Going the other way, one us cup is 340 gram. That works out at 2 gram = 0.0058823529 us cup and 4 = 0.0117647059. The figure comes from honey weighing 340 g per US cup — a generic cups-to-grams converter assumes water and will give you the wrong answer here, because volume to weight depends entirely on what is in the cup.

About the Grams to Cups — Honey
Honey is the densest thing most people measure in a cup, at nearly one and a half times the weight of water. It also clings to the cup: expect to leave 5–10 g behind unless you oil the measure first, which is a real loss on a recipe calling for a quarter cup. Golden syrup, treacle and maple syrup are all in the same density range. The figure this page works from is 340 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting gram to us cup for honey, the amounts that come up most often are: 25 gram = 0.074 us cup; 50 gram = 0.147 us cup; 75 gram = 0.221 us cup; 100 gram = 0.294 us cup; 150 gram = 0.441 us cup; 200 gram = 0.588 us cup; 250 gram = 0.735 us cup; 500 gram = 1.47 us cup; 1000 gram = 2.94 us cup.
What people use it for
- Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
- Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
- Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it
This tool uses us cup = gram × 0.0029411765, derived from honey weighing 340 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Honey is the densest thing most people measure in a cup, at nearly one and a half times the weight of water. It also clings to the cup: expect to leave 5–10 g behind unless you oil the measure first, which is a real loss on a recipe calling for a quarter cup.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get all the honey out of the cup?
Coat the inside with a thin film of oil first, or measure the honey after the oil if the recipe uses both. Warming the cup helps too. Weighing straight into the bowl avoids the problem entirely, which is the real answer.
Why does a cup of honey not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Honey has its own density — 340 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Hardly at all in terms of packing, because honey is a liquid — but it clings. The real loss is what stays in the cup: a sticky cup can hold back 10–15 g of the 340 g a cup weighs. Oiling the cup first, or weighing straight into the bowl, recovers it. Warming honey slightly also makes it pour rather than sit.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.
Is there a limit on how often I can use the Grams to Cups — Honey?
Free, unlimited, and no email address required. You can use it a hundred times a day and nothing changes.
Is what I paste into the Grams to Cups — Honey stored?
No. The Grams to Cups — Honey runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored, which you can verify yourself in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.
How is the result calculated?
It uses us cup = gram × 0.0029411765, derived from honey weighing 340 g per US cup. The full working is printed under the result, so you can follow every step rather than trusting a black box.
What do I get if I try it?
Enter 2 gram of honey and the Grams to Cups — Honey returns 0.0058823529 us cup.
When would I actually need the Grams to Cups — Honey?
The jobs it is built for: following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures. Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error. Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
When is the Grams to Cups — Honey not the right tool?
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
Which values should I know?
1 US cup of honey is 340 g. 1 Gram is 0.0029411765 US cup. 1 US cup is 340 Gram. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Can I rely on this for exact work?
The calculation runs in double precision and the result is shown to ten significant figures, so converting a value and converting it back returns the original. What is displayed is rounded for readability; what is copied is not.
