How Much Is 1.33 Tablespoons of Chili Powder in Grams?
1.33 tablespoons of chili powder weighs 10.64 g. This is based on chili powder having a density of 128g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.33 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.33 tablespoons of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of chili powder = 8g

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
