Honey
US Teaspoon to Gram
Understanding Honey Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 us teaspoon of honey to gram, we use the density of honey (1.42 g/ml). A us teaspoon contains 4.93ml, so 1 us teaspoon equals 4.93ml. Multiplying by the density: 4.93ml × 1.42 g/ml = 7g.
US vs Metric Cups: Why It Matters
When converting honey, the cup size matters significantly. A US cup (236.6ml) of honey weighs 336g, while a metric cup (250ml) weighs 355g—a difference of 19g (6%). If you're following a recipe from a different country, using the wrong cup size could affect your results. American recipes use US cups, while recipes from Australia, UK, and most other countries use metric cups.
Measurement Tip
Measure honey in a liquid measuring cup (the kind with a spout) placed on a flat surface. Read the measurement at eye level, looking at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first to help it slide out easily.
About Our Data
The density value of 1.42 g/ml for honey is from the USDA FoodData Central database (ID: 169640). This measurement was taken with honey poured into the measuring cup.
