Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 150g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 108 grams of cornmeal
  2. 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
  3. 108g ÷ 150g/cup = 0.72 cups × 16 = 11.52 tablespoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Cornmeal weigh 150g per cup when dry. Cooked weight per cup will be different.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 11.52 tbsp, based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 150 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 108 grams: 108 ÷ 150 = 0.72 cups × 16 = 11.52 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh cornmeal on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 11.52 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.72 cups, then 0.72 × 150g/cup = 108g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
