Formula for Conversion between Tablespoon and Grams
How much is 1 Tablespoon in Grams? (tbsp to g)
- Note: 14.786 is the conversion factor from density in gms/cc to gms/tbsp
- To find the weight in grams of an item, you need the density of the item.
- Multiply the no of tablespoons with 14.786 to get the ml value and multiply that with density of the item (gms/ml).
- Example: To find the weight of 1 tbsp of water in grams:
1 tbsp of water in grams = 1 tbsp × 1 gm/cc × 14.786 cc = 14.786 gms - Example: Weight of 1 tbsp of honey in grams:
1 tbsp of honey in gms = 1 tbsp × 1.36 gm/cc × 14.786 = 20.11 gms
How many Tablespoons in a Gram (g to tbsp)
- To convert from grams to tablespoon, divide the no of grams by density and 14.786
- Example: 30 grams of water in tbsp is equal to:
30 g of water to tbsp = 30/(1 × 14.786) ≈ 2.03 tablespoons - Example: 25 grams of Milk to tbsp using density of milk as 1.25 will be:
25 g of milk to tbsp = 25 grams/(1.25 × 14.786) = 1.35 tbsp
What is a Gram?
- A Gram is a SI Unit of Mass and widely used in most countries except US.
- 1 Gram is 1/1000th of a Kilogram.
- A Gram is used to represent weight of small items such as vegetables, food items dry and wet, objects like paper, pencil, bottles, medicine doses.
- The unit of a gram is 'gm' or 'g'.
- If density of any substance is 1, then 1 tablespoon of it weighs under 15 grams and has a volume of 15 milliliters.
What is a Tablespoon?
- A tablespoon is a common unit of volume measurement.
- Though it is not part of the metric or SI unit of measurement, it is a very popular measure across the world.
- A tablespoon is equal to 1/16 th of a cup and 1/2 of an ounce and equal to 14.79 milliliters (US standard).
- Tablespoons are used mainly in measuring ingredients of a recipe in cooking and baking and in medicine doses.
- Tablespoon unit is 'tbsp' or 'T'
How is Gram related to Tablespoon?
- They are not related directly. A gram is a unit of mass and tablespoon is a unit of volume. There is no direct conversion between them.
- However, they are linked together through density which is a measure of how closely packed an object is from within.
- Different ingredients have different densities, so the same number of grams of different substances will have different volumes. For example, 1 gram of flour is about 0.11 tablespoons, but 1 gram of honey is about 0.05 tablespoons. As honey has higher density than flour, the volume is lower (Volume is inversely proportional to density).
- This is why our converter includes 50 different ingredients - each with its own specific density value for accurate conversions.
FAQ on Grams to Tablespoons Conversion
How is the conversion value of 14.78 taken while converting grams to tablespoon?
Since density of items is in gms/ml, we need to know the ml value for conversion.
1 standard US cup is 236.59 ml which is fixed.
We also know that a cup is equal to 16 tablespoons.
Therefore, a tablespoon is equal to 236.59/16 = 14.78 ml.
Why is Density needed for this conversion?
Tablespoon and Grams are different units and not directly related.
Tablespoon measures Volume which is a measure of the amount of space an item occupies.
Grams measures Mass which is the amount of matter contained in an item.
Density is a measure of compactness of an item which is equal to Mass / Volume.
To find Mass from Volume or Volume from Mass, we have to multiply or divide by Density of that substance.
How much is 1 Teaspoon in Grams? (1 tsp to g)
No of Teaspoons = No of Grams / (Density in gms/cc * 4.93)
1 gm of water = 0.2 tsp
How much is 1 Gram to Teaspoon? (1 g to tsp)
1 teaspoon is 14.786/3 = 4.93 ml
Weight in Grams = No of Teaspoons x 4.93 x Density of the item
1 tsp of water = 4.93 gms , where density of water is 1
1 tsp of sugar = 3.1 gms, where density of sugar is 0.85
Which tablespoon should I use?
Spoons come in various shapes and sizes.
A tablespoon is large and typically used for serving food.
The smallest of the spoons will be the teaspoon. A tablespoon will be 3 times larger than the teaspoon.
1 tablespoon measure will be equal to 15 ml or 0.5 oz.
How do I calculate the number of tablespoons from grams when given density?
Multiply the no of grams by the given density and 14.786
The result is the tablespoon value for that items.
For eg, for 50 grams of sugar, the no of tablespoons can be calculated as follows:
No of tablespoons = 50 * 14.786 * 0.85 (density of sugar) = 4 tbsp.
