How Much Is 0.7 Tablespoons of Sour Cream in Grams?
0.7 tablespoons of sour cream weighs 10.06 g. This is based on sour cream having a density of 230g 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 0.7 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.7 tablespoons of sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of sour cream = 14.38g
- 0.7 × 14.38 = 10.06g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sour cream weighs 230g per cup. Spoon it into the measuring spoon without pressing down too firmly.

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.
