How many grams is 1 tablespoon?

1 tablespoon of water = 14.79 grams (the volume baseline). But it varies by ingredient: - Dried basil: 2.8g (lightest) - Cocoa powder: 6.3g - All-purpose flour: 7.8g - Powdered sugar: 8.3g - Granulated sugar: 12.5g - Butter (solid): 14.2g - Water: 14.8g - Soy sauce: 16.3g - Peanut butter: 16g - Honey: 21g (heaviest) 1 tablespoon = 14.7868 ml of volume. What it weighs depends entirely on what you put in it. Formula: Grams = 14.7868 ml × Density (g/ml)

How many grams is 1 teaspoon of salt?

1 teaspoon of table salt = 6 grams. This is the standard used in nutrition labelling (FDA, WHO dietary guidelines). Formula: 1 tsp = 4.929 ml × 1.217 g/ml = 6.0g But salt type matters enormously: - Table salt (fine): 1 tsp = 6g - Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal): 1 tsp = 3g (half as dense!) - Kosher salt (Morton): 1 tsp = 5g - Sea salt (fine): 1 tsp ≈ 5–6g - Sea salt (coarse/flaky): 1 tsp ≈ 3–4g This is why recipes using kosher salt often specify the brand, or say 'season to taste'. If you substitute table salt for Diamond Crystal kosher, use HALF the volume — or you will oversalt every recipe.

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of butter?

1 tablespoon of butter = 14.2 grams. This matches the USDA standard: 1 stick = 113g = 8 tbsp → 113 ÷ 8 = 14.125g per tbsp Common butter amounts: - 1 tsp butter = 4.7g - 1 tbsp butter = 14.2g - 2 tbsp butter = 28.4g (≈ 1 oz) - 4 tbsp butter = 56.7g (½ stick) - 8 tbsp butter = 113.4g (1 stick = ½ cup) Melted butter is slightly different: 1 tbsp melted butter = 12.8g (density 0.865 vs 0.955 for solid) For baking, always use solid butter unless the recipe specifies melted. The small density difference (~10%) rarely matters in practice.

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of honey?

1 tablespoon of honey = 21 grams. Honey is the densest common ingredient at 1.42 g/ml — nearly 1.5× the weight of the same volume of water. Formula: 14.7868 ml × 1.420 g/ml = 21.0g Other common amounts: - 1 tsp honey = 7g - 2 tbsp honey = 42g - ¼ cup honey = 84g - ½ cup honey = 168g - 1 cup honey = 336g Maple syrup for comparison: 1 tbsp = 19.5g (density 1.32) Tip: To measure honey without mess, spray the tablespoon with oil first — honey slides right out without sticking.

How many grams is 1 teaspoon of baking powder?

1 teaspoon of baking powder = 4.4 grams. Formula: 4.9289 ml × 0.900 g/ml = 4.44g ≈ 4.4g Related leavening agents (1 tsp): - Baking powder: 4.4g - Baking soda (bicarbonate): 5.3g - Active dry yeast: 3.7g - Cream of tartar: 3g (approx) Why this matters: baking powder and soda are powerful. Even a 0.5g difference (just a pinch) in a cake can cause: - Too much: bitter taste, collapsed centre, excessive rise then fall - Too little: dense, flat result For precision baking, weigh your leavening agents. A cheap digital scale measuring to 0.1g is ideal for small quantities.

HOW TO USE

1
Choose Tablespoons → Grams or Grams → Tablespoons. Search for any ingredient by name or filter by category — Flours, Sugars, Fats, Liquids, Spices & Herbs, Salt & Leavening and more. The ingredient selector instantly shows 1 tbsp and 1 tsp in grams for the selected ingredient, so you can check without even entering an amount.
2
Enter your amount using the number field or tap a preset: ¼ tsp, ½ tsp, 1 tsp, 1½ tsp, 2 tsp, 1 tbsp, 2 tbsp, 3 tbsp, 4 tbsp, 6 tbsp, 8 tbsp, 16 tbsp. The result shows grams, plus teaspoons, oz, and ml. The formula is displayed: tbsp × 14.79 ml × density g/ml = grams.
3
Use the reference table below the calculator to look up any of 48 ingredients without entering amounts. The table shows 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, 2 tbsp, 3 tbsp, and ¼ cup for every ingredient — grouped by category with bold category headers. The volume equivalents panel shows how tbsp, tsp, and cups relate to each other.
