How much is 1 ml in grams?
For water, 1 milliliter equals 1 gram. For other ingredients, the weight varies. 1ml of milk weighs 1.04 grams, 1ml of flour weighs 0.53 gramsand 1 ml of sugar equals 0.85 grams.
Converting between ml and grams for water is a simple 1:1 conversion process. This is because one gram of water equals exactly one milliliter.For other ingredients, the density of the ingredient needs to be factored in. As an example, whilst 1ml of milk measures around 1.04g, 1ml of honeymeasures around 1.42g.

ml to grams for flour
One milliliter (ml) of flour weighs approximately 0.53 grams. To calculate the weight of a specific volume of flour in grams, you can multiply themilliliter volume by 0.53.
ml to grams for sugar
One milliliter (ml) of granulated sugar equates to 0.85 grams. To estimate how many grams there are in a ml volume of sugar,multiply by 0.85.
500 ml to grams
The number of grams in 500 milliliters depends on the ingredient you are using. For sugar, 500ml weighs around 424g. For milk, 500ml weighs around 518g.For water, 500ml equals exactly 500g.
236 ml to grams
The conversion of 236 milliliters (1 US cup) to grams depends on the ingredient you're measuring. For flour, 236ml converts to about 125g. Forsugar, it's about 200g. For butter, it's about 226g.
A standard US cup measures 236.6ml.

50 grams to ml
The conversion of 50 grams to milliliters depends upon the ingredient you're using. For sugar, 50g converts to around 59ml. For flour, 50g converts to around 95ml.For water, 50g equals exactly 50ml. To ensure high accuracy with measuring dry ingredients, it's recommended to use kitchen scales, rather than measuring by volume.1
500 grams to ml
The number of milliliters in 500 grams is dependent upon the ingredient. For sugar, 500g equates to around 590ml. For flour, 500g equates to around 945ml.For water, 500g equals exactly 500ml. You're recommended to use kitchen scales to measure dry ingredients, rather than measuring by volume, for maximumaccuracy. 1
How to convert ml to grams
To convert milliliters to grams, multiply the volume (in ml) by the density of the ingredient (in g/ml). You need to factor in the ingredient densitybecause some ingredients are denser, and therefore heavier, than others. E.g. 150ml of sugar weighs less than 150ml of honey.
The formula for converting milliliters to grams looks like this:
grams = ml × ingredient density (in g/ml)
Let's look at a real world example of a milliliters to grams conversion.
Example: Mabel wants to convert 15ml of milk to grams. She finds that her milk has a densityof 1.04 g/ml. Her calculation is therefore as follows:
15 × 1.04 = 15.53 grams.
Although the milliliter is a unit of volume and gram a unit of weight, we've shown that it is possible to convert between the two, providing you knowthe density of your ingredient. Note that the density unit needs to match the other units in the conversion - g/ml (or g/cm³). If it doesn't, you will need toconvert it first.
In its section of cooking measurement tips, The National Institute of Standards and Technology'sOffice of Weights and Measures recommends usingkitchen scales to measure dry ingredients by mass (weight), rather than measuring by volume, to maintain accuracy. This is because the density of the ingredientcan vary greatly. 1
If you don't have access to a set of kitchen scales, or your recipe only gives ingredients in milliliters, you can calculate the weight in grams byusing our calculator.
How to convert grams to ml
To convert grams to millilieters, divide your weight (in grams) by the density of the ingredient (in g/ml). Your ingredient density needs to befactored in because ingredient density (and, therefore, weight) varies. E.g. 150ml of honey weighs more than 150ml of sugar.
ml = grams ÷ ingredient density (in g/ml)
Let's look at another real world example.
Example: Mabel wants to convert 5g of yeast to milliliters. She finds that her yeast has a densityof 0.95 g/ml. So, her calculation looks like this:
5 ÷ 0.95 = 5.26 ml.
Mabel remembers there are 4.9ml in a teaspoon (US). She therefore adds 1.1 teaspoons of yeast to her recipe.
