Formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ 8.87 (approx.).
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
Steel‑Cut Oats Density and Formula
Steel‑cut oats are chopped groats with a compact shape. A practical dry density of ~0.6 g/mL yields ~8.87 grams per tablespoon (14.7868 mL Ã 0.6 g/mL).
tablespoons = grams ÷ 8.87
grams = tablespoons Ã 8.87
Exact formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). Adjust if you know your specific product density.2
Note: Cutting size, brand, and moisture alter packing; weigh for best accuracy.
