Start with 0.17 tablespoons of lard
1 tablespoon of lard = 12.81g
0.17 × 12.81 = 2.18g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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?

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.
