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 (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 20.79 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 340.44 grams: 340.44 ÷ 262 = 1.30 cups × 16 = 20.79 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.
