Why the ingredient matters
A cup is a volume, not a weight. Honey has a density of 1.42 g/ml — different ingredients give different weights for the same cup. That's why generic « cup to gram » charts are wrong by 10–30 %.
How precise is this?
The density used here is sourced and cross-checked. Real-world measures still vary by about ±4% depending on how the cup is filled — sifted, scooped or packed.

Frequently asked questions
How many gram is 1 US cup of Honey?
1 US cup of Honey equals about 336 gram, using a density of 1.42 g/ml.
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?
No — a US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup 250 ml, an imperial cup 284 ml. This page uses the US cup; the converter lets you switch conventions.
Why do different sites give different answers?
Most charts use one generic density for every ingredient. We use the measured density of Honey itself — that is the physically correct conversion.
Should I weigh ingredients instead of using cups?
Yes, whenever possible — a scale removes fill-density error entirely, especially for flour and powders.
