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 ~0.98 g/mL, heavy cream weighs ~14.5 g per tablespoon.
tablespoons = grams ÷ 14.5
grams = tablespoons Ã 14.5
General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). Results are approximate.2
Note: Use liquid measuring spoons at eye level for accuracy.
