Frequently Asked
Common questions about spices tablespoon to grams conversion
It depends which one, because spices vary in density. For example: cinnamon about 8.4 g, table salt about 18.3 g, cocoa powder about 7.8 g. Pick the exact item in the calculator for an accurate weight.
Multiply the tablespoons by 15 ml, then by the density in grams per millilitre. Grams = tablespoons Γ 15 Γ density. The tool holds the density for each one.
A tablespoon measures volume, but spices pack different mass into that 15 ml. Denser ones weigh more; airy ones weigh less. That difference is density.
Table Salt is among the heaviest at about 18.3 grams per tablespoon, while cocoa powder is lighter at about 7.8 grams.
Double the one-tablespoon weight. For example, two tablespoons of cinnamon is about 16.8 grams.
Use a level tablespoon for these values. Heaping spoons hold more and are harder to repeat. For baking, weigh spices on a kitchen scale.
A teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon, so divide the tablespoon weight by three for each item.
No. Because density differs, a single value would be wrong for most. Select the specific item so the grams match.
