How to convert tablespoons to grams
A tablespoon of a light, airy ingredient (flour, cocoa, oats) weighs much less than the same tablespoon of a dense one (sugar, honey, butter), so the conversion needs the ingredient's weight per volume:
grams = tablespoons × grams per tablespoon
Example: all-purpose flour weighs 125 g per cup, so 2 cups is 2 × 125 = 250 g. The weights come from USDA FoodData Central; each ingredient page links to its USDA record.
