How Grams to Tablespoons Conversion Works
Small-volume measurements in recipes often specify tablespoons (tbsp) or teaspoons (tsp). However, grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, so ingredient density matters. One US tablespoon equals exactly 1/16 of a US cup (15 ml). Because dense table salt weighs far more than airy flour, 10 grams of salt occupies much less tablespoon volume than 10 grams of flour.
Grams to Tablespoons Conversion Formula
To convert grams to tablespoons for any ingredient, divide the weight in grams by the weight of 1 tablespoon of that ingredient:
Example: 15 grams of granulated sugar = 15g ÷ (200g/cup ÷ 16) = 15 ÷ 12.5g = 1.20 tablespoons (or 3.6 teaspoons).
