Convert 1/2 Cups of Honey (Pure Liquid) to grams (170g in US cups). Complete volume-to-weight chart and tablespoon breakdown.

Direct Answer:

1/2 Cups of Honey (Pure Liquid) = 170 grams (6.00 oz)

 Tablespoons: 8.0 tbsp Teaspoons: 24.0 tsp Volume: 118.3 mL Condition: Poured liquid at room temperature (70°F / 21°C) 1 Cup Standard: 340g 

Volume-to-Weight Calculation Formula

Weight (grams) = Cup Volume × Grams per Cup (Density) Weight = 0.5 × 340g = 170 grams

Calibrated for Poured liquid at room temperature (70°F / 21°C) at room temperature (bulk density: 1.437 g/mL). Source: USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 169640).

Technique Note: Honey is roughly 1.44 times denser than water (340g vs 236.6g per US customary cup).
