About Honey
Honey is a natural liquid sweetener produced by bees, with a density of 1.42 g/ml - significantly denser than water. It adds moisture, flavor, and browning to baked goods, and has natural preservative qualities. It is also commonly known as pure honey or raw honey.
Honey has a density of 1.42 g/ml when measured using the Spoon & Level method. As a liquid ingredient, the measurement method does not affect volume - grams to cups conversion is consistent.
This ingredient belongs to the sugar category and is classified as a liquid ingredient. Per 100g, it provides 304 calories,0.3g protein, 82.4g carbohydrates, and 0g fat.
Density data sourced from USDA FoodData Central. US Cup = 236.588ml (NIST). Results are estimates - actual volume may vary by ±5% depending on brand and batch.

Expert Tips
Honey is denser than water (1.42 g/ml vs 1.0 g/ml), so 1 cup of honey weighs significantly more than 1 cup of water.
To measure honey accurately by volume, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first - the honey will slide right out.
When substituting honey for sugar in baking, reduce other liquids by 1/4 cup per cup of honey and lower oven temperature by 25°F.

Frequently Asked Questions About Honey Measurements
340g of honey equals approximately 1.01 cups. Honey is very dense at 1.42 g/ml, making it one of the heaviest ingredients per cup.
Not exactly. Honey has a density of 1.42 g/ml, so 340g = 239.4 ml. Water is the only liquid where grams approximately equal milliliters.
Yes, and it's much more accurate and less messy. 340g on a kitchen scale is more precise than 1 cup in a measuring cup, and you don't need to coat the cup with oil.
1/4 cup of honey weighs approximately 84g when spooned and leveled, or 99g with dip & sweep.
1/3 cup of honey weighs approximately 112g when spooned and leveled, or 132g with dip & sweep.
1/2 cup of honey weighs approximately 168g when spooned and leveled, or 198g with dip & sweep.
1 cup of honey weighs approximately 336g when spooned and leveled, or 396g with dip & sweep.
1 1/2 cups of honey weighs approximately 504g when spooned and leveled, or 595g with dip & sweep.
