Honey Grams to Cups Converter
100g of honey is about 0.29 US cups, using our reference of 339g per cup.
Enter another weight below, or use the chart for common amounts. For an amount already given in grams, a kitchen scale lets you measure it directly.
Reference: The USDA's Nutritive Value of Foods, page 74 lists strained or extracted honey at 339g per cup. We adopt that weight for this site's US Customary setting. The publication was revised in 2002; these are reference-based estimates, not new measurements of your honey.

How to measure honey without leaving it in the cup
Honey left on a measuring cup does not reach your recipe. Scrape the cup after pouring so you transfer the amount you measured.
If using a marked liquid measure, set it on a level surface and read the amount at eye level. Let the honey settle before checking the mark rather than judging a mound as it pours.
Betty Crocker's measuring guidance suggests a light coating of cooking spray or vegetable oil inside the measure to help honey release. Use that option only when the small amount of oil suits your recipe; otherwise, scrape the measure thoroughly.
If the recipe gives a weight, you can avoid an extra measuring cup:
- Put your mixing bowl on a scale and press tare or zero.
- Add honey slowly, especially as you approach the target.
- Stop at the requested gram amount.
Weigh into a separate bowl if you want to be able to remove an accidental excess before mixing it with other ingredients.
How to convert honey grams to cups
For this page's US Customary reference:
Cups of honey = grams ÷ 339
For example, 250 ÷ 339 = about 0.74 cups. Keep the full calculation until the final display rather than rounding the reference first.
For the reverse conversion, multiply cups by 339. That gives 169.5g for ½ cup and about 84.8g for ¼ cup. Switch the calculator's direction or use the cups-to-grams converter with honey selected.
Why use 339g per cup rather than multiply a tablespoon weight?
The USDA publication lists both a one-cup entry at 339g and a tablespoon entry at 21g. Multiplying the published tablespoon number by 16 gives 336g, which does not reproduce its cup entry.
We use the direct cup reference for this converter. Published household amounts can be rounded, so scaling one displayed measure does not necessarily reproduce another. Within our US cup model, dividing 339g by 16 gives about 21.2g per US tablespoon. That is a calculated value, not a replacement for the source's published tablespoon entry.
Does this work for every honey product?
Treat the result as an estimate for the stated strained-or-extracted-honey reference. Do not assume it applies unchanged to honeycomb, whipped honey products or mixtures containing other ingredients.
If the recipe or product supplies its own gram equivalent, follow that reference. This calculator converts an amount; it does not determine how honey can replace sugar or another syrup in a recipe.
What if my measuring cup is metric?
Choose Metric in the calculator for a 250mL cup. Scaling our baseline by volume gives about 358.2g per metric cup. That is a calculated adjustment, not a separate USDA measurement.
The chart above stays on the US Customary setting. Use the cup-size guide to check your cup and spoon standards. Our grams-per-cup chart lists the ingredient references, and our methodology explains the calculations and rounding.
