Grams to Tablespoons Converter

Converting between grams (a mass unit) and tablespoons (a volume unit) requires considering the density of the substance. The basic formula is:

Why Density Matters

Different substances have different densities, which affects their volume-to-mass relationship. For example:

• • Water has a density of 1 g/mL
• • Flour is much lighter at 0.53 g/mL
• • Sugar is heavier at 1.59 g/mL

Common Conversions

For quick reference, here are some common gram-to-tablespoon conversions for everyday ingredients:

• • 15g water = 1 tablespoon
• • 8g flour ≈ 1 tablespoon
• • 24g sugar ≈ 1 tablespoon
