What this does

So a recipe lists an ingredient in grams, but you do not have a scale and would rather spoon it out. This converter turns grams into tablespoons. Enter the amount, pick the ingredient, and it tells you how many tablespoons that is. It can give teaspoons too, and it covers both US and Imperial spoons, since those differ in size.

How to use it

Enter the amount, and choose grams, milligrams, or kilograms.
Pick the spoon you want, US or Imperial tablespoons, or teaspoons.
Choose the ingredient, then press Calculate.

For the everyday answer, leave it on US tablespoons.

Why the ingredient matters

Grams are a weight and tablespoons are a volume, so the bridge between them is density. A heavy ingredient fits more grams into each spoon, while a light one fits fewer, which means the same weight fills a different number of spoons depending on what it is.

A tablespoon of water weighs about 15 grams, so 30 grams of water is roughly 2 tablespoons. A tablespoon of a lighter ingredient like flour weighs less, so 30 grams of flour fills more than 2 tablespoons. That is why the tool asks for the ingredient. Flour, as always, is the least consistent, so treat its result as a guide.

How the conversion works

The tool first turns your weight into a volume by dividing by the density, then turns that volume into spoons by dividing by the size of one spoon. Put together:

tablespoons = (grams ÷ density) ÷ millilitres per tablespoon

A US tablespoon is about 14.8 millilitres. So 30 grams of water becomes 30 millilitres, then 30 ÷ 14.8, which is about 2 tablespoons. Remember that 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon if you switch the spoon type.

Questions people ask

How many grams are in a tablespoon?

It depends on the ingredient. A tablespoon of water is about 15 grams, while a tablespoon of flour weighs less and a tablespoon of honey weighs more.

Why do I have to pick an ingredient?

Because grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume. Without the ingredient's density, there is no way to link the two.

How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?

Three. So if you switch the output to teaspoons, expect roughly three times the tablespoon figure.
