How Much Is 1 Gallon of Soy Sauce in Grams?
1 gallon of soy sauce weighs 4,080.00 g. This is based on soy sauce having a density of 255g per cup. Because gallons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1 gallon.
