Why Grams to Tablespoons Depends on the Ingredient
Grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, so there is no single conversion factor. One tablespoon of all-purpose flour is about 8 grams, while a tablespoon of honey is about 21 grams — nearly three times heavier in the same spoon.
That is why this converter asks for the ingredient first. It uses real density data, the same grams-per-cup figures behind every conversion on the site, divided down to the tablespoon (1 cup = 16 tablespoons).
