Why Tablespoons to Grams Depends on the Ingredient

A tablespoon is a fixed volume (about 14.8ml), but its weight in grams changes with the ingredient’s density. That is why a tablespoon of butter (~14g) and a tablespoon of cocoa powder (~5g) are so different.

This converter multiplies the number of tablespoons by each ingredient’s real grams-per-tablespoon, so the gram figure matches what you actually spoon out.
