Tablespoons to Grams Converter

Convert tablespoons (tbsp) to grams and milliliters for common kitchen ingredients. The weight per tablespoon varies depending on ingredient density.

Weight per tablespoon

1 tbsp flour = about 9 g. 1 tbsp sugar = about 12 g. 1 tbsp butter = about 14 g. 1 tbsp oil = about 13 g. 1 tbsp salt = about 18 g. 1 tbsp = 15 ml for all liquids.

Tablespoon vs. teaspoon

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons = 15 ml. 1 teaspoon = 5 ml.

Tips

Salt weighs the most per tablespoon (18 g) because salt crystals are heavy and pack densely. Flour weighs the least (9 g) because it's light and airy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of sugar?

1 tablespoon of sugar weighs about 12 grams. Powdered sugar weighs slightly less (about 8 g/tbsp) due to its finer texture, while brown sugar weighs slightly more (about 13-14 g/tbsp).

Why does salt weigh more per tablespoon than flour?

Salt has a much higher density than flour. Salt crystals are heavy mineral crystals that pack tightly, while flour particles are organic with lots of air between them. That's why 1 tbsp salt weighs about 18 g while 1 tbsp flour weighs only about 9 g โ€“ twice as much.

How many tablespoons is 100 grams of butter?

100 grams of butter equals about 7 tablespoons. Since 1 tbsp butter weighs about 14 g, 100 รท 14 = about 7.1 tbsp. That's also about 1.1 dl of butter.
