Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 6.38g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2 tablespoons of rye flour
  2. 1 tablespoon of rye flour = 6.38g
  3. 2 × 6.38 = 12.75g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 12.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.45 oz

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?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.45 oz, based on rye flour having a density of 102g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 6.38 (grams per tablespoon for rye flour), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 2 tablespoons: 2 × 6.38 = 12.75g, then 12.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.45 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh rye flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 102 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 112.2 to 127.5 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 0.45 oz × 28.3495 = 12.75g, then 12.75g ÷ 6.38 = 2 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
