275 Grams of Honey in Cups
275 grams of honey doesn't land on a clean fraction, so the result below is calculated exactly rather than rounded to a common measure. Based on a density of 340g per cup, it equals 0.81 cups.

275 grams of honey = 0.81 cups (¾ cup / 12.9 tbsp / 38.8 tsp)
Honey has a density of approximately 340g per cup. Consistent across floral varieties. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 260g | 0.76 | ¾ | 12.2 | 36.7 |
| 270g | 0.79 | ¾ | 12.7 | 38.1 |
| 275g | 0.81 | ¾ | 12.9 | 38.8 |
| 280g | 0.82 | ⅞ | 13.2 | 39.5 |
| 290g | 0.85 | ⅞ | 13.6 | 40.9 |
How 275g Converts, Step by Step
275g divided by 340g (the weight of one cup of honey) equals 0.81 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 12.9 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 38.8 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Honey is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 275g of honey fills less volume (191ml) than the same weight of water would (276ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 275 grams to cups page.
If You're Using a Metric or Imperial Cup
The 0.81 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 275g, that's ¾ metric cups or ⅔ imperial cups of honey, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Scaling This 275g Amount
Doubling a recipe that calls for 275g of honey means weighing 550g, or measuring 1.62 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 137.5g, or 0.40 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
Honey Next to Other Sugars & Sweeteners
Within sugars & sweeteners, density still varies by ingredient. At 275g, maple syrup (322g per cup) measures ⅞ cup, while brown sugar (220g per cup) measures 1¼ cup, compared to ¾ cup for honey. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Where This Amount Shows Up in Recipes
- Honey glazes for meat or vegetables typically use 30g to 60g.
- Homemade granola often calls for 85g to 100g of honey as a binder.
- Salad dressings usually need just 15g to 20g.
Measuring This Precisely
Sugars & Sweeteners
Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled. Brown sugar should be pressed firmly until it holds the cup's shape when turned out.
For exact results
Powdered sugar clumps easily during storage, so sifting it before measuring gives a more consistent, lump-free result. Liquid sweeteners like honey and maple syrup should be measured in a liquid cup and poured slowly to avoid trapping air bubbles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 275 grams of honey in cups exactly?+
275 grams of honey equals 0.81 cups, based on a density of 340g per cup.
Why doesn't 275g of honey match a simple fraction?+
275g isn't a multiple of honey's per-cup weight, so the cup value lands between common fractions. The closest practical measure is ¾ cup.
What's the most reliable way to measure 275g of honey?+
A kitchen scale set to grams gives an exact 275g reading. Cups only approximate this amount, since ¾ cup rounds to the nearest practical fraction.
Is 275g likely a typo for a rounder amount?+
Possibly, if a recipe seems to expect a cleaner number. Check the nearby amounts table below for the closest common gram values for honey.
