Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 453.57 g, based on margarine having a density of 227g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 14.19 (grams per tablespoon for margarine). For 31.97 tablespoons: 31.97 × 14.19 = 453.57 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh margarine on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 453.57 g ÷ 14.19 = 31.97 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
