How Much Is 1.6 Tablespoons of Rye Flour in Grams?
1.6 tablespoons of rye flour equals 10.20 g. Rye flour has a density of 102g per cup (6.38g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.6 tablespoons of honey would be 34 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.6 tablespoons of rye flour
- 1 tablespoon of rye flour = 6.38g
- 1.6 × 6.38 = 10.2g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
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.
