Agave Syrup — Grams & Cups Converter
1 cup of agave syrup (also called agave nectar) weighs about 330 g. So 100 g ≈ 1/3 cup, 200 g ≈ 5/8 cup, and 300 g ≈ 7/8 cup. Convert any amount between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres with the calculator below.
💡 Tip: Agave is sweeter than sugar, so use less than the recipe's sugar amount. It pours easily and dissolves well in cold drinks.

Swapping agave nectar for sugar and other liquids
Agave syrup (or agave nectar) is a thin, free-pouring sweetener — a cup weighs about 330 g (11.6 oz), with each tablespoon near 20.5 g. It's sweeter than sugar, so to replace 1 cup of sugar use roughly ⅔ cup of agave and cut the recipe's other liquid by about 2–4 tablespoons. Lower the oven by around 25°F (15°C) since it browns faster. It dissolves beautifully in cold drinks and iced tea where granulated sugar would settle. Light agave is mild; amber and dark grades carry a stronger, almost caramel flavour.
