How this conversion works

Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Water has a density of 1 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 10 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Water so every measurement is accurate.

Measurement notes

Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.

FAQ

Why isn't 1 mL = 1 gram?
Only water has that ratio. Water is lighter or heavier, so we adjust using density data.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes—divide grams by the density factor to go back to milliliters for Water.
