100 ml of tomato sauce weighs approximately 102 g.
The conversion can vary slightly depending on whether it is tomato sauce, passata (smooth purée) or crushed tomatoes.
The converter uses a density of about 1.02 g/mL for tomato sauce — a little heavier than water because of the pulp and concentration.

Tomato sauce, passata and crushed tomatoes: is it the same conversion?
The three products are close but not identical, and texture changes how they measure:
- Tomato sauce. Usually smooth to semi-liquid. This is the product the converter is calibrated to (density ≈ 1.02 g/mL).
- Passata (smooth purée). Often more fluid and homogeneous (tomatoes blended and sieved). Its density stays close to tomato sauce, so the value is a good estimate rather than an exact measure.
- Crushed tomatoes. Contain pieces and juice, so filling a container is less uniform. The weight for a given volume can vary more — treat the result as a ballpark figure.
Passata is not tomato paste (which is far denser and thicker): do not mix the two for conversion.
Why grams and millilitres are not the same
Millilitres measure volume; grams measure mass. Water weighs about 1 g per ml, but tomato sauce is a little denser: 100 ml weighs about 102 g, not 100 g. The exact density depends on water content, how much pulp there is, the concentration and the brand — which is why published values vary slightly from one source to another.
Common tomato sauce conversions
The most-used volumes, at a density of 1.02 g/mL:
- 100 ml: ≈ 102 g.
- 200 ml: ≈ 204 g.
- 250 ml: ≈ 255 g.
- 400 ml: ≈ 408 g.
- 500 ml: ≈ 510 g.
For the reverse, divide grams by 1.02: 200 g of tomato sauce ≈ 196 ml, 500 g ≈ 490 ml.
Need the reverse?
This page is built to convert millilitres to grams. To go from grams to millilitres, divide by the density the converter uses (~1.02): for example, 200 g of tomato sauce ≈ 196 ml.
Tomato sauce ml-to-grams FAQ
- How much does 100 ml of tomato sauce weigh?
- About 102 g. Tomato sauce has a density of roughly 1.02 g/mL, so 100 ml weighs about 102 g — slightly more than 100 g of water.
- How much does 200 ml of tomato sauce weigh?
- About 204 g. For reference, 250 ml is about 255 g and 500 ml about 510 g.
- Does passata convert the same way?
- Almost. Passata is more fluid and homogeneous, but its density stays close to tomato sauce. The converter uses the tomato-sauce density, so for passata the value is a good practical estimate.
- Do crushed tomatoes weigh the same as tomato sauce?
- Roughly, but with more uncertainty. Pieces and juice make filling less even, so the weight for a given volume can vary more. Treat the result as a ballpark figure.
- Why do different sites give different values?
- Because density depends on water, pulp, concentration and brand, and each source rounds differently. This page uses a single density (1.02 g/mL) consistently.
- Can I convert grams of tomato sauce to ml?
- Yes. Divide the grams by the density (~1.02): 200 g ≈ 196 ml, 500 g ≈ 490 ml. This page is still designed for ml → grams.
