How Much Is 0.08 Tablespoons of Egg Yolks in Grams?
Converting 0.08 tablespoons of egg yolks to grams gives 1.27 g. One tablespoon of egg yolks weighs 15.81g, so 0.08 tablespoons is 0.08 × 15.81 = 1.27g. This conversion is specific to egg yolks because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.08 tablespoons of egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon of egg yolks = 15.81g
- 0.08 × 15.81 = 1.27g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

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.
