Maple Syrup Grams to Cups — FAQ

How many cups is 100g of Maple Syrup?
100 grams of maple syrup is about 0.31 cups (roughly 1/3 cup). Since it's dense and heavy, a small volume yields a high weight.
How many grams is 1 cup of Maple Syrup?
One full cup of maple syrup is heavy, weighing in at 322 grams. Its high sugar and water content makes it significantly denser than water or oils.
How many grams in 1 tbsp of maple syrup?
One tablespoon of maple syrup weighs roughly 20 grams. This is perfect for sweetening a single cup of tea or drizzling lightly over yogurt.
Do Grade A and Grade B maple syrup have the same density?
Yes, the grading system (now updated to different colors/flavors of Grade A) refers to color and flavor intensity, not thickness or density. All pure maple syrup weighs 322g per cup.
Can I substitute honey for maple syrup using the same ratio?
Honey is slightly denser (340g per cup) than maple syrup (322g per cup), but you can substitute them 1:1 by volume in most recipes without major issues.
What is the ratio for replacing sugar with maple syrup?
To replace 1 cup of white sugar (200g), use 3/4 cup of maple syrup (241g) and reduce other liquids in the recipe by about 3 tablespoons. Maple syrup adds both sweetness and moisture.
Why do I need to refrigerate maple syrup after opening?
Unlike honey, pure maple syrup can develop mold if left at room temperature for extended periods. Refrigeration preserves its flavor and prevents spoilage without changing its density.
