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 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 2.65 oz, based on ginger (ground) having a density of 96g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 6 (grams per tablespoon for ginger (ground)), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 12.52 tablespoons: 12.52 × 6 = 75.12g, then 75.12 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.65 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh ginger (ground) 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.
