How Much Is 0.08 Tablespoons of Granulated Sugar in Grams?
0.08 tablespoons of granulated sugar equals 1.00 g. Granulated sugar has a density of 200g per cup (12.5g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.08 tablespoons of honey would be 1.7 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.08 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar = 12.5g
- 0.08 × 12.5 = 1g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Granulated sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
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.
