How Much Is 8 Fluid Ounces of Honey in Grams?
8 fluid ounces of honey weighs 340.00 g. This is based on honey having a density of 340g per cup. Because fluid ounces measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 8 fluid ounces.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8 fluid ounces of honey
- 1 fluid ounce of honey = 42.5g
- 8 × 42.5 = 340g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like honey are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.
Honey at Different Amounts
How honey scales across common fluid ounces measurements. Your amount (8 fluid ounces) is highlighted.
For reference, 8 fluid ounces of honey (340g) is close in weight to a can of soda (355g).

Understanding the Units
What is a Fluid Ounce?
The US fluid ounce (29.574 ml) and the UK fluid ounce (28.413 ml) are different sizes. The UK version is about 4% smaller. This means a UK recipe calling for 8 fl oz gives you 227 ml, while 8 US fl oz gives you 237 ml. The difference is small per ounce but adds up in larger quantities.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
