How to convert us tablespoons to grams

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

g = tbsp × 12.5
tbsp = g × 0.08

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.
