How Much Is 8 Ounces of Honey in Cups?
Converting 8 ounces of honey to cups gives 0.67 cups. First convert to grams (8 oz = 226.80g), then divide by the density of honey (340g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8 ounces of honey
- Convert ounces to grams: 8 × 28.35 = 226.80g
- 1 cup of honey = 340g
- 226.80g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.67 cups
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.
