Milliliters (mL) to grams — water approximation
Convert milliliters to grams using water density (1 mL = 1 g). Actual weight depends on ingredient density.
This equals water (1 mL = 1 g). Milk ≈ 1.03 g/mL, oil ≈ 0.92 g/mL, honey ≈ 1.42 g/mL. Use ingredient pages for accuracy.
Density note These values use water density as an approximation. For flour, sugar, oil, honey and other ingredients results will differ — use the ingredient-specific pages for precision.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Olive oil: 1 mL ≈ 0.92 g. Milk: 1 mL ≈ 1.03 g. Honey: 1 mL ≈ 1.42 g.
- Don't round 1 mL = 1 g for baking — density errors compound in recipes.
Quick example 100 mL of water = 100 g. But 100 mL of heavy cream ≈ 103 g. Ingredient matters.
