What Are Grams and Tablespoons?

A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Density links them for ingredient conversions.1

White Rice Density and Formula

Dry white rice grains are compact. A practical kitchen density estimate of ~0.85 g/mL yields ~12.57 grams per tablespoon (14.7868 mL × 0.85 g/mL).

tablespoons = grams ÷ 12.57

grams = tablespoons × 12.57

Exact formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 × density). Adjust if you know your specific variety’s density.2

Note: Grain size, broken kernels, and humidity affect packing; weigh for best accuracy.
