Honey Measuring FAQs

Why is honey so heavy per cup compared to sugar? ▾

Honey is a dense, concentrated supersaturated solution of fructose and glucose containing only 17-18% water, reaching 340g/cup.

How can you decrystallize honey without destroying enzymes? ▾

Warm the jar in a water bath heated to 105°F to 110°F until clear; avoid microwaving which overheats delicate aroma compounds.
