First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 200 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 10 ounces: 10 × 28.3495 = 283.50g, then 283.50 ÷ 200 = 1.42 cups × 16 = 22.68 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh pearl barley 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: 22.68 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.41748 cups, then 1.41748 × 200g/cup = 283.50g, then 283.50g ÷ 28.3495 = 10 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
