Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 155g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 85.06 grams of garlic powder
  2. 1 cup of garlic powder = 155g
  3. 85.06g ÷ 155g/cup = 0.55 cups × 16 = 8.78 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Ground spices like garlic powder settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.

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 8.78 tbsp, based on garlic powder having a density of 155g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 155 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 85.06 grams: 85.06 ÷ 155 = 0.55 cups × 16 = 8.78 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh garlic powder 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: 8.78 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.548774 cups, then 0.548774 × 155g/cup = 85.06g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
