How to Convert Grams of Flour to Tablespoons

To convert a measurement in grams to a measurement in tablespoons, multiply the flour by the following conversion ratio: 0.128 tablespoons/gram.

Since one gram of flour is equal to 0.128 tablespoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

tablespoons = grams × 0.128

The flour in tablespoons is equal to the flour in grams multiplied by 0.128.

For example, here's how to convert 5 grams to tablespoons using the formula above.

tablespoons = (5 g × 0.128) = 0.64 tbsp

How Many Tablespoons Are in a Gram of Flour?

There are 0.128 tablespoons in a gram of flour, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 g = 0.128 tbsp

Experts often recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight for accuracy,[1] but some recipes use volume, and not all home cooks own a digital scale. Converting between weight and volume can be tricky because different types of flour vary in density.

The table below can help with the conversion and shows the approximate volume measurement for the weight of various types of flour.

Should You Measure Flour by Weight or Volume?

Most experts agree that dry ingredients like flour should be measured by weight rather than volume, especially in baking. The reason for this is that flours vary slightly in density, so a volume measurement will likely yield an incorrect amount of ingredients. Additionally, the amount that the flour is packed or compressed in the cup or tablespoon will alter the amount of ingredients being added.

For these reasons, a food scale, rather than measuring cups or spoons, is the preferred way to measure flour when cooking. For recipes that call for measurements in volume, professional bakers use a whisk to aerate flour that's been stored in a bag or canister before measuring since flour will settle when stored and weigh heavier even in the same-sized measuring cup.

Grams and tablespoons are both units used to measure flour. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon of flour is equal to 3 teaspoons or 1/16 of a cup. A tablespoon is a measure of flour volume.

The tablespoon is a US customary unit of volume. Tablespoons can be abbreviated as tbsp, and are also sometimes abbreviated as T, Tbls, or Tb. For example, 1 tablespoon can be written as 1 tbsp, 1 T, 1 Tbls, or 1 Tb.
