How Much Is 5 Milliliters of Buttermilk in Grams?
5 milliliters of buttermilk equals 5.18 g. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup (1.04g per milliliter), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5 milliliters of honey would be 7.19 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 milliliters of buttermilk
- 1 milliliter of buttermilk = 1.04g
- 5 × 1.04 = 5.18g
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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
