Measuring Tip
Always shred or grate cheese before measuring by volume. A cup of block cheese weighs much more than a cup of shredded.
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?
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.

The most accurate way is to weigh parmesan (finely grated) on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly from the container, which packs more in and gives a heavier result.
The form of the cheese matters more than the brand. Finely grated, shredded, shaved, and cubed cheese all have very different weights per measuring spoon. This conversion uses parmesan (finely grated), so make sure your cheese matches that form before converting.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A tablespoon of parmesan (finely grated) can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
