The Math

The formula: yeast tablespoons to grams

Grams = tablespoons × 15 × density. Yeast has a density of 0.68 g/ml, so one tablespoon is 15 × 0.68 = 10.2 grams. Move the sliders to see how the amount and density change the weight.

💡 A US tablespoon holds 14.79 ml, so one US tablespoon of yeast is about 10.06 grams, a little less than the 15 ml metric spoon.

Frequently Asked

Common questions about yeast tablespoon to grams conversion

One tablespoon of yeast weighs about 10.2 grams. This uses a density of 0.68 g/ml and a 15 ml tablespoon, so grams = 1 × 15 × 0.68.

Two tablespoons of yeast weigh about 20.4 grams, since each tablespoon is about 10.2 grams.

Multiply the tablespoons by 15 ml, then by the density of yeast, 0.68 g/ml. Grams = tablespoons × 15 × 0.68. The calculator applies this for you.

About 9.8 tablespoons. Divide the grams by 10.2, the weight of one tablespoon of yeast.

A teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon, so about 3.4 grams of yeast.

Half a tablespoon of yeast is about 5.1 grams.

Three tablespoons of yeast weigh about 30.6 grams.

Because yeast has a density of 0.68 g/ml. A tablespoon fixes the volume at 15 ml, and weight = volume × density, so 15 × 0.68 = 10.2 grams.

A US tablespoon is 14.79 ml instead of 15 ml, so one US tablespoon of yeast is about 10.06 grams, a little less than the metric 10.2 grams.

Use a level tablespoon for these values. A heaping spoon holds more and makes the grams less predictable. For exact baking, weigh yeast on a kitchen scale.
