Convert cups and tablespoons of honey to grams, ml and ounces.
Results
Liquid sweeteners like honey are significantly heavier than sugar - a cup of honey weighs 340g compared to 200g for granulated sugar. This matters when converting recipes between sugar and honey, or when a recipe lists honey by weight and you need to measure by volume. Maple syrup, molasses, golden syrup and agave all have similar but not identical densities, so using the right sweetener conversion prevents measurement errors.
