> The grams to tablespoons converter turns grams of an ingredient – butter, sugar, flour, salt, honey, oil, cocoa and more – into US (14.8 ml), metric (15 ml) or Australian (20 ml) tablespoons, and back.

## Inputs

- Ingredient
- Grams per US cup (custom ingredient)
- Weight (g, oz, lb, kg)
- Tablespoon

## Results

- Tablespoons
- Teaspoons
- Grams per tablespoon

## Formula

```
Tablespoons = grams ÷ (density × tablespoon volume)
US tbsp = 14.79 ml; metric tbsp = 15 ml; Australian tbsp = 20 ml
```

## Explanation

A tablespoon of salt weighs about 18 g but a tablespoon of flour only about 7.5 g. Australian tablespoons are a third larger than US ones, so check where your recipe comes from.
