Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 150g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 33.75 grams of cornmeal
  2. 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
  3. 33.75g ÷ 150g/cup = 0.23 cups × 16 = 3.60 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Uncooked and cooked grains have completely different weights per cup. These conversions are for uncooked/dry grains unless specified otherwise.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 3.60 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 33.75 grams: 33.75 ÷ 150 = 0.23 cups × 16 = 3.60 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: 3.60 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.225 cups, then 0.225 × 150g/cup = 33.75g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
