How Much Is 2.67 Cups of Honey in Pounds?

2.67 cups of honey weighs 2.00 lb. This is based on honey having a density of 340g per cup. Because cups measure volume and pounds measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2.67 cups.

Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 340g/cup ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 2.67 cups of honey
  2. 1 cup of honey = 340g
  3. 2.67 × 340 = 907.8g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 907.8 ÷ 453.592 = 2.00 lb

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.00 lb, based on honey having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 340 (grams per cup for honey), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 2.67 cups: 2.67 × 340 = 907.8g, then 907.8 ÷ 453.592 = 2.00 lb.
Weighing honey on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of honey changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 2.00 lb × 453.592 = 907.8g, then 907.8g ÷ 340 = 2.67 cups. Or use the Pounds to Cups converter.
