Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 9.38g/tbsp = grams

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.69 g, based on cornmeal having a density of 150g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 9.38 (grams per tablespoon for cornmeal). For 0.18 tablespoons: 0.18 × 9.38 = 1.69 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh cornmeal 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: 1.69 g ÷ 9.38 = 0.18 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
