How Much Is 0.48 Tablespoons of Flaxseed in Grams?
0.48 tablespoons of flaxseed weighs 4.44 g. This is based on flaxseed having a density of 148g 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 0.48 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.48 tablespoons of flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon of flaxseed = 9.25g
- 0.48 × 9.25 = 4.44g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ground and whole flaxseed have different densities. Make sure you are using the form your recipe specifies.

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?
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.
