Formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ 10.35 (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
Typical working density for dried cranberries is ~0.7 g/mL, yielding ~10.35 g per tablespoon. Piece size and stickiness affect packing.
tablespoons = grams ÷ 10.35
grams = tablespoons Ã 10.35
General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). For ~0.7 g/mL, ≈10.35 g/tbsp.2
Note: Results are approximate. Clumping and size variance change tablespoon volume.
