For liquid water or milk, 255 grams equals 17.2 tablespoons. For spooned all-purpose flour, 255g equals 32.6 tablespoons. For granulated sugar, 255g equals 20.4 tablespoons.
How many ounces is 255 grams?
255 grams equals 8.99 ounces on a digital kitchen scale. This avoirdupois weight measurement remains identical regardless of ingredient volume or compaction.
Why does 255 grams of flour take up more cup volume than 255 grams of sugar?
