How to convert grams to us tablespoons

1 g = 0.08 tbsp, so multiply by 0.08 to go from grams to US tablespoons of granulated sugar. Going the other way, 1 tbsp = 12.5 g.

tbsp = g × 0.08
g = tbsp × 12.5

Cups and spoons convert to weight using the weight per cup for granulated sugar shown in the result; how the ingredient is measured (spooned, packed, sifted) changes it.

Worked example:

5 g = 5 g
÷ 0.845351 g/mL (USDA FDC 169655, 1 cup = 200 g) = 5.9147059125 mL
= 0.4 tbsp
