How it's calculated
g = mL × d (reverse: mL = g ÷ d)
mL = millilitres, g = grams, d = density of the substance in g/mL (water = 1).
Common values
| Ingredient | Grams per mL |
|---|---|
| Water | 1.00 |
| All-purpose flour | 0.53 |
| Granulated sugar | 0.85 |
| Honey | 1.42 |
| Whole milk | 1.03 |
| Vegetable oil | 0.92 |
Common questions
Is 1 mL the same as 1 gram?
Only for water. Flour is lighter (about 0.53 g/mL) and honey is heavier (about 1.42 g/mL), so the ingredient matters.
How many grams is 250 mL of milk?
About 258 g — whole milk is roughly 1.03 g/mL.
