Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 262g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 25.05 grams of tomato paste
  2. 1 cup of tomato paste = 262g
  3. 25.05g ÷ 262g/cup = 0.10 cups × 16 = 1.53 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

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?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.53 tbsp, based on tomato paste having a density of 262g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 262 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 25.05 grams: 25.05 ÷ 262 = 0.10 cups × 16 = 1.53 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh tomato paste 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: 1.53 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.0956107 cups, then 0.0956107 × 262g/cup = 25.05g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
