How Much Is 150 Grams of Onion Powder in Tablespoons?
150 grams of onion powder equals 21.43 tbsp. Onion powder has a density of 112g per cup. Because grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 150 grams of onion powder
- 1 cup of onion powder = 112g
- 150g ÷ 112g/cup = 1.34 cups × 16 = 21.43 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
