How is honey measured?
Honey is sold by weight. In the United States, this means in pounds or avoirdupois ounces. Unfortunately, we also measure volume in units called fluid ounces. The units are not equal; in fact, 1 cup of honey (8 fluid ounces) weighs approximately 12 ounces (avoirdupois) — in other words, the 12-ounce jar of honey that you purchase will fill 1 cup.
