  2. 1 tablespoon of parmesan (finely grated) = 5g
  3. 3.01 × 5 = 15.05g

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 0.53 oz, based on parmesan (finely grated) having a density of 80g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 5 (grams per tablespoon for parmesan (finely grated)), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 3.01 tablespoons: 3.01 × 5 = 15.05g, then 15.05 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.53 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh parmesan (finely grated) 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.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 0.53 oz × 28.3495 = 15.05g, then 15.05g ÷ 5 = 3.01 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
