Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

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 28.80 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 270 grams: 270 ÷ 150 = 1.8 cups × 16 = 28.80 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: 28.80 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.8 cups, then 1.8 × 150g/cup = 270g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
