How Much Is 28 Grams of Chocolate Chips in Tablespoons?
28 grams of chocolate chips equals 2.67 tbsp. Chocolate chips has a density of 168g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 28 grams of chocolate chips
- 1 cup of chocolate chips = 168g
- 28g ÷ 168g/cup = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.67 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Measure chocolate chips before melting. Melted chocolate has a different volume than solid chips, so always measure in solid form.
