What Are Grams and Tablespoons?
A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Converting needs the ingredient's density.1
Dried Oregano Density and Formula
Dried oregano is made of very light flakes, with typical bulk density around 0.3 g/mL. That yields about 4.44 grams per tablespoon, much lighter than powders.

- Level the spoon: Avoid mounded or compressed spoonfuls.
- Store dry: Keep airtight to avoid moisture and caking.
FAQs
How many tablespoons is 10 g of oregano?
About 2.25 tbsp (10 ÷ 4.44).
How many grams is 3 tablespoons of oregano?
