Tablespoons to Grams
Convert tablespoons to grams for any ingredient. Quick reference chart for cooking and baking.
A US tablespoon holds exactly 14.787ml of volume. But the weight in grams varies by ingredient: 1 tablespoon of water weighs 15g, while 1 tablespoon of honey weighs around 21g, and 1 tablespoon of flour weighs only about 8g. This is why tablespoon-to-gram conversion always needs to specify the ingredient.
Tablespoon measurements are most common for small quantities: spices, leavening agents, oils, and syrups. For these, the tablespoon is precise enough for everyday cooking — though for baking, a scale remains the gold standard.
