How to Convert Tablespoons to Grams

Converting tablespoons to grams is a common task in cooking and baking, especially when working with precise recipes or adjusting quantities. This conversion requires knowledge of the ingredient's density, as the weight of a tablespoon can vary significantly between different substances.

Tablespoon to Gram Conversion Formula

The formula to convert tablespoons to grams is:

\[Grams = Tablespoons \times 14.7867648 \times Density\]

Where:

• Grams is the resulting weight in grams
• Tablespoons is the initial volume in tablespoons
• 14.7867648 is the conversion factor from tablespoons to milliliters
• Density is the density of the ingredient in g/mL

Calculation Steps

1. Determine the number of tablespoons you want to convert
2. Identify the density of the ingredient (in g/mL)
3. Multiply the number of tablespoons by 14.7867648 to convert to milliliters
4. Multiply the result by the density of the ingredient
5. The final result is the weight in grams

Example Calculation

Let's convert 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to grams:

1. Start with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
2. The density of granulated sugar is approximately 0.85 g/mL
3. Apply the formula: \[Grams = 2 \times 14.7867648 \times 0.85 = 25.14 \text{ grams}\]

Therefore, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar is equal to approximately 25.14 grams.
