Grams to milliliters converter

Grams tell you mass; milliliters tell you volume. For liquids and pourable ingredients, density links the two. This page focuses on liquids where converting g→ml is most useful — unlike dry powders where cups are often preferred in US recipes.

How to convert grams to ml

Divide grams by density (g per ml). If you know 100 g of an ingredient equals a known volume from a chart, you are using the same relationship.

Frequently asked questions

How many ml is 100 g of milk?

Roughly 97–98 ml for whole milk at typical dairy density — slightly less than water because fat is lighter than water, but solids add mass.

Should I use ml or grams on a scale?

Weighing grams is universal; ml requires a liquid measure or known cup calibration.

Why do oils give more ml per gram than water?

Oils are less dense than water, so each gram occupies more volume.

Is this accurate for hot syrups?

Density shifts slightly with temperature; kitchen use is within a couple percent.
