Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.96 grams of couscous
- 1 cup of couscous = 173g
- 0.96g ÷ 173g/cup = 0.0055 cups × 16 = 0.09 tablespoons

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?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
