How Much Is 120 Grams of Dried Cranberries in Tablespoons?
120 grams of dried cranberries equals 16.00 tbsp. Dried cranberries has a density of 120g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 120 grams of dried cranberries
- 1 cup of dried cranberries = 120g
- 120g ÷ 120g/cup = 1 cup × 16 = 16.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.

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 (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.
