Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 200g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 33.75 grams of pearl barley
  2. 1 cup of pearl barley = 200g
  3. 33.75g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.70 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

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.

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 2.70 tbsp, based on pearl barley having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 200 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 33.75 grams: 33.75 ÷ 200 = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.70 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh pearl barley 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: 2.70 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.16875 cups, then 0.16875 × 200g/cup = 33.75g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
