Grams to ml Converter

For water, 1 gram equals 1 milliliter, so 200 g of water is 200 ml. Other ingredients need their density: divide grams by grams per ml. 100 g of honey is about 70 ml, 100 g of olive oil is 109 ml and 100 g of all-purpose flour is about 197 ml. Pick the ingredient below to convert in either direction.

Grams to ml for water
Water has a density of 1 g/ml, so grams and milliliters are the same number.

Dry ingredients vary with how they are measured. Flour is spooned and leveled; brown sugar is packed.
How to convert grams to ml
ml = grams ÷ density (g/ml)
grams = ml × density (g/ml)
Grams measure weight and milliliters measure volume, so you need the ingredient's density to convert between them. A milliliter of water weighs one gram, which is why the two are often treated as the same.
Worked examples
- 250 g of milk: 250 ÷ 1.03 = 243 ml.
- 50 g of olive oil: 50 ÷ 0.915 = 55 ml.
- 200 g of granulated sugar: 200 ÷ 0.837 = 239 ml, about 1 cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert grams to ml?
Divide grams by the density of the ingredient in g/ml. For water, the density is 1, so 1 gram is 1 ml and 200 g is 200 ml. For honey (1.42 g/ml), 100 g is 100 ÷ 1.42 = 70 ml. For all-purpose flour (about 0.51 g/ml), 100 g is about 197 ml.
Is 1 gram equal to 1 ml?
Only for water and liquids with a similar density, such as milk (1.03 g/ml) or cream. Oils are lighter, so 100 g of olive oil is 109 ml. Syrups are heavier, so 100 g of honey is 70 ml.
How many ml is 100 grams of flour?
About 197 ml, or a little over 3/4 cup, for all-purpose flour spooned into the cup and leveled (120 g per cup). If you scoop straight from the bag, the flour packs down and 100 g takes up less space.
How do I convert ml to grams?
Multiply ml by the density. 250 ml of milk × 1.03 = 257.5 g. 100 ml of olive oil × 0.915 = 91.5 g.
How many grams of sugar are in a cup?
A U.S. cup of granulated sugar weighs about 198 g, a cup of packed brown sugar about 213 g, and a cup of powdered sugar about 113 g.
Why do recipes give flour in grams?
A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from about 110 g to 150 g depending on how it is filled. Weighing removes that variation, which is why bakers prefer grams for flour and sugar.
