How Much Is 1.38 Tablespoons of Corn Syrup in Grams?
1.38 tablespoons of corn syrup equals 28.29 g. Corn syrup has a density of 328g per cup (20.5g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.38 tablespoons of honey would be 29.33 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.38 tablespoons of corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon of corn syrup = 20.5g
- 1.38 × 20.5 = 28.29g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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.
