Quick Answer
One US cup of honey weighs about 340 grams. That works out to 21.3 g per tablespoon and 7.08 g per teaspoon. Honey is denser than water (1.42 g/mL) - 1 cup is 340 g. Weights vary slightly by brand, moisture, and how tightly you pack - for precise baking, a kitchen scale beats volume measures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams in 1 cup of honey?
About 340 grams, scoop-and-level for dry ingredients. Honey is denser than water (1.42 g/mL) - 1 cup is 340 g.
How many grams in a tablespoon of honey?
One US tablespoon (15 mL) of honey is about 21.3 grams. A teaspoon is 7.08 g.
Why does honey weigh more (or less) than water?
Its density differs from water's 1 g/mL: 1 cup of honey weighs 340 g versus 237 g for water. Denser liquids (honey, syrup) weigh more per cup; oils weigh less.
How many cups is 100 g of honey?
100 g ÷ 340 g/cup ≈ 0.29 cups - about a little less than a full cup. The reverse table on this page covers 25-1000 g.
Should I weigh or measure by volume?
Weighing is more accurate - volume measures vary with how you scoop, pack, and level, and brands differ by 5-15%. For cookies and cakes where ratios matter, grams are the professional standard. The tables here convert either direction.
