Frequently Asked Questions

About 31.99 tbsp, based on pumpkin puree having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 245 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 17.28 ounces: 17.28 × 28.3495 = 489.88g, then 489.88 ÷ 245 = 2.00 cups × 16 = 31.99 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh pumpkin puree 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: 31.99 tbsp ÷ 16 = 1.99951 cups, then 1.99951 × 245g/cup = 489.88g, then 489.88g ÷ 28.3495 = 17.28 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
