}Explanation
US cups convert to grams by multiplying with the verified 291 g/cup density derived from the US cup (236.588 mL) definition and the liquid’s grams-per-milliliter ratio.
Use the calculator to translate recipe cups into grams while keeping the same density that powers the milliliter and fluid ounce families.
Simple syrup (1:1) uses 1.23 g/mL in this dataset. That makes it 23% heavier by volume than water at the 1 g/mL reference. On the same basis, one US cup is about 291 g and one US fluid ounce is about 36.38 g.
Sugar concentration and temperature can noticeably change how this viscous liquid pours and how much a measured volume weighs. These figures describe a reference conversion, not a guarantee for every brand, recipe, serving temperature, or production batch.
Evidence status for Simple syrup (1:1): medium-confidence. Dataset note: 1:1 simple syrup density estimate.

Methodology
Simple syrup (1:1) density evidence
Simple syrup (1:1) uses 1.23 g/mL in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: 1:1 simple syrup density estimate.
Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
