How Much Is 3.24 Tablespoons of Cornmeal in Grams?
3.24 tablespoons of cornmeal weighs 30.38 g. This is based on cornmeal having a density of 150g 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 3.24 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3.24 tablespoons of cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon of cornmeal = 9.38g

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
