How Much Is 4 Tablespoons of Raisins in Grams?
4 tablespoons of raisins weighs 36.25 g. This is based on raisins having a density of 145g 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 4 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 tablespoons of raisins
- 1 tablespoon of raisins = 9.06g
- 4 × 9.06 = 36.25g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.
