Is 1 ml equal to 1 gram?

Only for water (and liquids with the same density as water). 1 ml of water = 1 gram. For other substances: 1 ml of honey = 1.42 g, 1 ml of olive oil = 0.91 g, 1 ml of milk = 1.03 g.

How do you convert ml to grams?

Multiply the volume in ml by the ingredient's density (g/ml). Water density is 1 g/ml, so ml = grams for water. For honey (density 1.42), 100 ml = 142 g.

How many ml is 100 grams?

For water, 100 g = 100 ml. For other ingredients: 100 g of flour ≈ 189 ml, 100 g of sugar ≈ 118 ml, 100 g of butter ≈ 110 ml, 100 g of honey ≈ 70 ml.

Why ml and Grams Are Not Always Equal

Milliliters measure volume; grams measure mass. They are equal only for water (density = 1 g/ml). Every other substance has a different density:

Formula

grams = ml × density (g/ml)

Denser liquids (honey, syrups) weigh more per ml than water. Lighter liquids (oils) weigh less. The ingredient selector above handles this automatically.
