How Much Is 500 Grams of Egg Yolks in Tablespoons?
500 grams of egg yolks equals 31.62 tbsp. Egg yolks has a density of 253g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 500 grams of egg yolks
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 500g ÷ 253g/cup = 1.98 cups × 16 = 31.62 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

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.
