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 an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 20.57 oz, based on active dry yeast having a density of 144g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 9 (grams per tablespoon for active dry yeast), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 64.8 tablespoons: 64.8 × 9 = 583.2g, then 583.2 ÷ 28.3495 = 20.57 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh active dry yeast 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
