Culinary, cosmetic and medical recipes often incorporate honey. Not every housewife has a scale for dispensing a sweet ingredient and uses improvised home remedies. About this in detail in today's article.
How many grams of honey is contained in 1 spoon
One of the first measures in the kitchen is a spoon, tea or dining room. Often in recipes for convenience, the dosage of the components is indicated in the spoons, but not always. Therefore, it is advisable to know how to transfer grams into spoons and correctly measure the ingredient.
Did you know? The ability of honey to maintain its qualities for millennia has been confirmed by archaeologists at the excavations of the tomb of Tutankhamun. A vessel with nectar, which retained its taste, was found in the burial room.
The dining room
You can scoop a treat out of a can in different ways. Therefore, you need to consider the weight in the device with and without a slide.
Weight in 1 tbsp. l in grams:
- with a slide —34-37;
- without a slide — 30–33.
Teahouse
Small spoons usually measure nectar for cosmetic recipes.
Product weight in 1 h. In grams:
- with a slide —14-19;
- without a slide - 9-12.
In the absence of weights, the dosage of the product can be determined using simple mathematical operations and cutlery - spoons.
Important! The measurement error, depending on the variety and consistency, will be from 5 to 10%.
For light weight it is better to use a tea room, otherwise a dining room:
- 50 g - for the calculation, a measure of 1 hour is used. Without a slide in grams, we get the following - 50/9 = 5.5 l .;
- 100 g - 100/9 (1 tsp.) = 9 l.;
- 150 g - then as a measure it is more convenient to take the indicator of 1 tbsp. without a hill in grams —150/30 = 5 liters;
- 200 g - 200/30 = 6.6 l .;
- 250 g - 250/30 = 8.4 liters.
Thus, 50 g of nectar is 5.5 tablespoons for tea, and 250 g corresponds to 8.5 tablespoons.
How much does honey weigh?
Honey is of different consistency and density. For example, a thick product that succeeds in sugaring will weigh less than liquid nectar.
Adds weight and moisture contained in the treat:
- collected in dry summers, in the absence of precipitation, it contains less than 15% moisture;
- during the rainy season, the amount of moisture will increase to 25% and higher.
Humidity also depends on the variety:
- padevy is more “dry” and thick, it has more natural glue than water. This variety is previously sugared;
- a liquid variety that you rarely see candied, as it contains a lot of water, is an acacia product.
The average moisture content is 18% / 100 g of product.
In one glass
The weight will depend on the thickness of the walls of the glass: the thinner the walls, the greater the volume and, accordingly, the weight. For instance:
- faceted glass holds up to 250 g;
- thin-walled of the same shape and size up to 330 g.
In one bank
Each product has its own specific gravity, one liter of a quality product weighs approximately 1.44 kg. For the convenience of calculations, when converting liters to kilograms, this indicator should be rounded to 1.5 kg. In order to transfer one measure of weight to another, you need to multiply the required volume by an indicator of 1.5.
Based on the data obtained, it is easy to make the calculations presented for convenience in the table:
| Volume of cans in liters | Honey weight in kg |
| 0,5 | 0,75 |
| 0,75 | 1,125 |
| 1,0 | 1,5 |
| 1,5 | 2,25 |
| 2,0 | 3 |
| 3,0 | 4,5 |
What is contained in one spoon of honey
Many people, wanting to lose weight or for other reasons, use honey instead of sugar. Of course, they are interested in how many calories and sugars they consume.
Calorie content
Calorie content of 100 grams of nectar is approximately 330 kcal, which means 3.3 kcal in one gram.
The number of calories that fits in one spoon:
- Tea room - 9 × 3.3 = 29.7;
- the dining room - 30 × 3.3 = 99.
Did you know? Ancient people living in a hot climate used honey as a preservative: meat products were coated with a thick layer of nectar and buried in the ground.
Sugar amount
Honey sweet contains several types of natural sugars:
- fructose;
- glucose
- sucrose.
The content of substances in 100 g of the product is on average 80 g, in 1 g - 0.8 g.
Total in one spoon contains:
- tea - 9 × 0.8 = 7.2 g;
- dining room - 30 × 0.8 = 24 g.
Carbohydrates
Similarly to the amount of sugars, the carbohydrate content can be measured. In nectar they contain an average of 83 g / 100 g, respectively, in 1 g - 0.83 g.
In one spoon in grams it turns out:
- in the tea room - 9 × 0.83 = 7.47 g;
- in the dining room - 30 × 0.83 = 24.9 g.
Important! It is not advisable to exceed the daily norm of honey of 130-150 g, given its calorie content, abuse can contribute to gaining excess weight.
Calculating the amount of liquid or bulk products is not so difficult, especially since many cookbooks have tables on weight measures using kitchen utensils and appliances.
