A thick, dense liquid sweetener produced by bees, heavier than granulated sugar by volume. One US cup weighs about 340g — about 2.7× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour.

Honey belongs to the Sugars group on GramToCup, alongside other ingredients measured the same way in most kitchens. It shows up most often in sweetening tea, glazes, moist cakes. Its density of 340g per US cup is what this calculator uses to convert between grams and cups automatically — no manual lookup required.
Honey is a thick, viscous liquid with almost no trapped air and a high concentration of dissolved sugars or solids, which is why it's one of the heaviest common ingredients by volume.
A cup of honey is about 2.7× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup), even though both fill the same 1-cup measuring cup.
Common mistake: Forgetting to grease the cup first, so a noticeable amount sticks to the sides and never makes it into the bowl.
Lightly grease the measuring cup or spoon before adding honey. It pours out cleanly instead of leaving a sticky residue behind, which is where most of the measurement error creeps in.
When a recipe needs to be exact, weigh it on a kitchen scale instead of using a measuring cup at all — it removes packing and settling from the equation entirely.
Measure honey on a flat surface and check the line at eye level; tilting the cup to read it from above is a common source of error.
100g of honey is approximately 0.29 cups, based on a density of 340g per US cup.
1 US cup of honey weighs about 340g. Use the calculator above to convert any other amount instantly.
No — the calculator above converts honey between grams and cups without a scale. A scale is only more accurate when a recipe already lists grams and you want to skip the volume measurement entirely.
Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight. A cup of honey is about 2.7× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup) because the two ingredients have different densities — see the density explanation above for why.
Lightly grease the measuring cup or spoon before adding honey. It pours out cleanly instead of leaving a sticky residue behind, which is where most of the measurement error creeps in.
They're in the same category, but check the density first: Granulated sugar weighs 200g per cup versus 340g for honey. Substituting by weight (grams) keeps a recipe accurate; substituting cup-for-cup can change the result if the densities differ much.
