Explanation

Simple syrup (1:1) grams convert to cups by dividing through the verified 291.003 g/cup density anchored to the US cup (236.588 mL) definition.

Use the calculator to see how labeled weights translate into cups using the same density as the milliliter family.

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.
