mL to Grams Converter
This mL to grams converter turns milliliters into grams for the ingredient you pick, because a milliliter of flour and a milliliter of honey weigh very different amounts. Choose your ingredient and the tool multiplies by its density, so you get grams that actually match what's in the bowl, with a full table below.

Milliliters to Grams by ingredient
How 100 mL converts to grams for each common ingredient, since density changes the answer.
| Ingredient | 100 mL in g |
|---|---|
| Water | 100 |
| Milk | 101.4 |
| All-purpose flour | 50.7 |
| Bread flour | 53.7 |
| Granulated sugar | 84.5 |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 93 |
| Powdered sugar | 50.7 |
| Butter | 96 |
| Vegetable oil | 92.1 |
| Honey | 143.7 |
| Maple syrup | 136.1 |
| Rice (uncooked) | 78.2 |
| Rolled oats | 38 |
| Cocoa powder | 35.9 |
| Cornstarch | 50.7 |
| Table salt | 115.4 |
Grams depend on the ingredient, since density varies. Water is the reference, where 1 mL weighs about 1 gram. These use US measures.
How to convert milliliters to grams
Because milliliters and grams measure different things, you convert through the ingredient's density. Pick the ingredient and the tool applies its density in grams per milliliter for you.
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the ingredient. 100 mL of water is about 100 grams, 100 mL of flour is about 51 grams, and 100 mL of honey is about 144 grams, because each one has a different density.
Only for water and water-like liquids. One milliliter of water weighs about one gram, but a milliliter of oil weighs less and a milliliter of honey weighs more, so it's not a universal rule.
Multiply the milliliters by the ingredient's density in grams per milliliter. For water that's about 1, for flour about 0.53, and for sugar about 0.85. The tool does this for each ingredient.
About 254 grams, since milk has a density of roughly 1.01 grams per milliliter. Water would be about 250 grams for the same volume.
