US cup (240 ml)

354 g

Metric / AU cup (250 ml)

American recipes mean the 240 ml cup; Australian, British and New Zealand recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. If the recipe does not say, the cuisine usually tells you — see the full cups to grams guide.

Honey is the heaviest common kitchen ingredient by volume — about 340 g per cup, nearly three times the weight of a cup of flour. It is also the most annoying to measure, since most of it stays in the cup.

Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 cup of honey?

1 US cup of honey is 340 g. In an Australian, UK or NZ metric cup (250 ml) it is 354 g. Weighing is more accurate than measuring by volume.

How many grams is half a cup of honey?

Half a US cup of honey is 170 g, and three-quarters of a cup is 255 g.

How do I get honey out of a measuring cup?

Oil the cup first. A light coating of neutral oil, or a quick spray, lets the honey slide out cleanly. Better still, weigh it: put the bowl on a scale, zero it, and pour honey straight in.

Is golden syrup the same weight as honey?

Yes, both are about 340 g per cup. Maple syrup is a little lighter at around 322 g because it has a higher water content.
