Liters to Pounds by Ingredient

Liters to pounds crosses the metric-US boundary, converting metric volume to US weight. This comes up when importing or translating international recipes, calculating shipping weights for liquid products, or buying in bulk where the container is marked in liters but your recipe or scale uses pounds. For example, 1 liter of olive oil is 2.01 lb, while 1 liter of honey is 3.17 lb. Choose your ingredient below.

Liquids

Most cooking liquids are close to the weight of water, but syrups and honey are much heavier. Oil is lighter than water.
