Quite often, ns am asked how countless cups or fluid ounces (oz) room in a lb of honey? over there is a the majority of confusion, many of which is self-inflicted, because the love husband industry and I have actually chosen to sell honey by the pound instead the a fluid ounce or other fluid measurement unit that most liquid food is offered by. Maybe it is because honey is sold as a sweetener and competes v “dry” sweeteners like beet sugar and also sugarcane. Who knows exactly how this madness started? because most recipes speak to for fluid volume and not pounds, this can acquire quite confusing. Anyway, ns think we are stuck through this case so below is some aid visualizing these measurements and also some convenient conversion tips.

You are watching: How much does a cup of honey weigh

*

1Lb of honey (by weight) in a typical kitchen measure up cup


Next, let’s see exactly how 1 lb of honey converts into liquid measurements favor cups, ounces (fluid) and also even milliliters (ml).

1lb of love husband is around equal to 1.34 Cups, 10.7 Oz (fluid) or 317 ml.


The meniscus (what does meniscus mean?) obscures ours reading a little bit in this photo however l lb of honey equals around 1.34 cups or 10.7 ounces (Oz) or 317 ml. The following table might assist you through other typical honey load to volume conversions:
