Liquid to Dry Measure Conversion
Formula
Weight (g) = Cups x Ingredient Density (g/cup)
Liquid and dry measurements are not interchangeable. A cup is a volume measurement; grams are a weight measurement. The weight of 1 cup depends on the density of the liquid.
Why This Matters
Oils weigh less than water per cup, while syrups and honey weigh more. Using the wrong conversion can significantly affect a recipe.
Example Calculation
How much does 1 cup of honey weigh in grams?
- 01Honey density: 336 g per cup.
- 02Weight: 1 x 336 = 336 g.
- 031 cup of honey weighs 336 grams, much more than 1 cup of water (240 g).
