How Much Is 1.36 Quarts of Molasses in Grams?
1.36 quarts of molasses equals 1,849.60 g. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup (1,360g per quart), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.36 quarts of all-purpose flour would be 680.87 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.36 quarts of molasses
- 1 quart of molasses = 1,360g
- 1.36 × 1,360 = 1,849.6g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

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.
