How Much Is 90 Grams of Walnuts in Tablespoons?
90 grams of walnuts equals 12.00 tbsp. Walnuts has a density of 120g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 90 grams of walnuts
- 1 cup of walnuts = 120g
- 90g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
When a recipe says "1 cup nuts, chopped" vs "1 cup chopped nuts," the first means measure whole then chop. The second means chop first then measure. The weight difference can be significant.

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.
