How to Convert Grams to Spoons
Converting grams to tablespoons or teaspoons is not a simple division because each ingredient has a different density. A tablespoon of butter weighs about 14.2 grams, while a tablespoon of flour weighs only about 7.8 grams. This tool uses density-based conversions for 35+ common ingredients to give you accurate results.
Unlike generic converters that assume all ingredients weigh the same, our gram-to-spoon tool uses actual density data for each ingredient — so your recipes come out right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I just divide grams by 15 to get tablespoons?
15 grams per tablespoon is only accurate for water. Flour, sugar, butter, and spices all have different densities, so the weight per spoon varies significantly. Using the wrong conversion can ruin a recipe.
Are these measurements level or heaped spoons?
All values are for level (flat) tablespoons and teaspoons, which is the standard in recipe writing.
Can I convert spoons to grams instead?
Yes. Click the reverse button to switch from grams-to-spoons to spoons-to-grams mode. Enter the number of spoons and get the weight in grams.
Is this tool accurate for baking?
Yes, for common ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and cocoa the densities are based on standard culinary references. For the most precise baking, a kitchen scale is always recommended.
