Corn Syrup Calculator
Formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ 20.7 (approx.).
What Are Grams and Tablespoons?
A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Density is required to convert between them.1
Density and Formula
With density ~1.4 g/mL, corn syrup weighs ~20.7 g per tablespoon. Temperature affects viscosity.
tablespoons = grams ÷ 20.7
grams = tablespoons Ã 20.7
General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). Results are approximate.2
Note: Lightly oil spoons for sticky syrups to release cleanly.

Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Weigh for precision: Stickiness can skew volume measures.2
- Level the spoon: Avoid heaping tablespoons.
- Warm slightly: Warmer syrup flows better; mass unchanged.
