Grams to ml: Conversion Chart & Calculator
Grams to ml depends on the ingredient because grams measure weight while milliliters measure volume. For example, 100 grams of all-purpose flour = 189.27 ml, 100 grams of granulated sugar = 118.29 ml, 100 grams of butter = 104.22 ml, and 100 grams of water ≈ 100 ml using our practical ingredient references.
There is no single ml value for a gram amount. For 100 grams: flour is approximately 189.27 ml, granulated sugar is 118.29 ml, butter is 104.22 ml, and water is approximately 100 ml.

How to Convert Grams to ml
To convert grams to ml, you need the density of the ingredient. Divide the weight in grams by density in grams per milliliter.
Milliliters = grams ÷ density (g/ml)Density = grams per US cup ÷ 236.588For example, our all-purpose flour reference is 125 grams per US cup. Its practical density based on that reference is approximately 0.528 g/ml.
100g ÷ 0.528 g/ml ≈ 189.27 mlTherefore, 100 grams of all-purpose flour equals approximately 189.27 ml using this reference.
How Many ml Is 100 Grams?
There is no universal answer. The result depends on what ingredient you are measuring.
100g Rolled Oats
Approximately 262.88 ml
100g Honey
Approximately 69.58 ml
Both weigh 100 grams, but their volumes are very different because their densities are different.
Grams of Flour to ml
Using our all-purpose flour reference of 125 grams per US cup, 100 grams of all-purpose flour equals approximately 189.27 ml.
100g flour ≈ 189.27 mlYou can also see our 100 grams of flour to cups guide or use the calculator above for any flour amount.
Grams of Sugar to ml
Granulated sugar weighs 200 grams per US cup in our conversion database. Using this reference:
100g granulated sugar ≈ 118.29 mlTherefore, 100 grams of granulated sugar equals approximately 118.29 ml.
Grams of Butter to ml
Our butter reference is 227 grams per US cup.
100g butter ≈ 104.22 mlSo 100 grams of butter is approximately 104.22 ml.
Grams of Milk to ml
Using our milk reference of 245 grams per US cup:
100g milk ≈ 96.57 mlTherefore, 100 grams of milk is approximately 96.57 ml under this practical kitchen reference.
Grams of Water to ml
For practical kitchen conversions, water is approximately 1 gram per milliliter. This makes water particularly simple to estimate.
50g Water
≈ 50 ml
100g Water
≈ 100 ml
250g Water
≈ 250 ml
500g Water
≈ 500 ml
Is 100 Grams Equal to 100 ml?
Not for every ingredient. Grams and milliliters measure different things. Grams measure mass, while milliliters measure volume.
For practical kitchen use, 100g of water is approximately 100 ml. However, 100g of all-purpose flour is about 189.27 ml, 100g of granulated sugar is about 118.29 ml, and 100g of honey is only about 69.58 ml using our references.
Grams to ml vs Grams to Cups
A grams-to-ml conversion gives the ingredient’s approximate volume in milliliters, while a grams-to-cups conversion gives its volume in cups. Both conversions still depend on the ingredient.
100g Flour
189.27 ml
100g Flour
0.80 US cup
Why Do Grams Have Different ml Values?
The reason is density. Two ingredients can have the same weight while occupying very different amounts of space.
For example, rolled oats contain plenty of air space and occupy much more volume than dense honey at the same 100-gram weight. That is why a reliable grams to ml converter must know which ingredient you are measuring.
Does Cup Size Affect Grams to ml?
The final milliliter measurement itself does not depend on choosing a US, metric or imperial cup. Milliliters are already a direct volume unit.
On this page, cup-based ingredient weights are used as practical reference data to estimate ingredient density. Our standard reference cup is the US customary cup of 236.588 ml.
Common Volume References
| Measurement | Volume |
|---|---|
| US Customary Cup | 236.588 ml |
| US Legal Cup | 240 ml |
| Metric Cup | 250 ml |
| Imperial Cup | 284.131 ml |
How to Measure More Accurately
For dry ingredients such as flour, packing can significantly affect the amount that fits into a given volume. If you are measuring flour by volume, avoid compressing it unless your recipe specifically asks for a packed measurement.
For recipes written in grams, a digital kitchen scale is usually the most repeatable measuring method. Use grams-to-ml conversions when you need an approximate volume equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert grams to ml?
Divide the number of grams by the ingredient’s density in grams per milliliter. The formula is: ml = grams ÷ density (g/ml).
How many ml is 100 grams?
It depends on the ingredient. For example, 100g of all-purpose flour is approximately 189.27 ml, while 100g of granulated sugar is approximately 118.29 ml using our references.
How many ml is 100 grams of flour?
100 grams of all-purpose flour is approximately 189.27 ml using our reference of 125 grams per US cup.
How many ml is 100 grams of sugar?
100 grams of granulated sugar is approximately 118.29 ml using our reference of 200 grams per US cup.
How many ml is 100 grams of butter?
Using our 227g-per-cup butter reference, 100 grams of butter is approximately 104.22 ml.
How many ml is 100 grams of milk?
Using our 245g-per-cup reference, 100 grams of milk is approximately 96.57 ml.
Is 1 gram equal to 1 ml?
Not generally. For practical kitchen use, water is approximately 1 g/ml, but flour, sugar, butter, honey and other ingredients have different densities.
Why do grams have different ml values?
Because grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume. Different ingredients have different densities, so the same weight can occupy a different volume.
Final Answer: Grams to ml
Grams to ml depends on the ingredient. Using our practical density references, 100g of all-purpose flour is approximately 189.27 ml, granulated sugar is 118.29 ml, butter is 104.22 ml, milk is 96.57 ml, honey is 69.58 ml, and water is approximately 100 ml.
For any other amount, enter the grams and select the correct ingredient in the grams to ml calculator above.
