How Much Is 1.23 Ounces of Onion Powder in Tablespoons?
1.23 ounces of onion powder equals 4.98 tbsp. Onion powder has a density of 112g 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 1.23 ounces of onion powder
- Convert ounces to grams: 1.23 × 28.35 = 34.87g
- 1 cup of onion powder = 112g
- 34.87g ÷ 112g/cup = 0.31 cups × 16 = 4.98 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
