Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

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 6.20 tbsp, based on peanut butter having a density of 258g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 258 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 100 grams: 100 ÷ 258 = 0.39 cups × 16 = 6.20 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh peanut butter 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: 6.20 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.387597 cups, then 0.387597 × 258g/cup = 100g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
