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
Dried Thyme Density and Formula
Dried thyme’s typical bulk density is ~0.3 g/mL, yielding ~4.44 grams per tablespoon. Leaf size and crumble affect packing.
tablespoons = grams ÷ 4.44
grams = tablespoons Ã 4.44
General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). For ~0.3 g/mL, ≈4.44 g/tbsp.2
Note: Results are approximate. Flake size and compression change the volume per tablespoon.
