Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 185g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 11.56 grams of rice (long grain)
  2. 1 cup of rice (long grain) = 185g
  3. 11.56g ÷ 185g/cup = 0.06 cups × 16 = 1.00 tablespoon

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

Measuring Tip

Rice expands roughly 2-3x when cooked. 1 cup of dry rice (long grain) (185g) yields approximately 3 cups cooked.

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 (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.00 tbsp, based on rice (long grain) having a density of 185g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 185 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 11.56 grams: 11.56 ÷ 185 = 0.06 cups × 16 = 1.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh rice (long grain) 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: 1.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.0624865 cups, then 0.0624865 × 185g/cup = 11.56g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
