50 grams to tablespoons converter (calculator)

Use the converter, or calculator, below to convert 50 grams, or any weight, into tablespoons. Enter the number of grams, pick your ingredient, and it shows the amount in tablespoons and teaspoons.

How to convert 50 grams to tablespoons (50 grams to tbsp)

When you cook, you often need to convert the amount of a particular ingredient from one measurement unit to another.

It might be a conversion between weight units, from one volume unit to another, or even from weight to volume and vice versa.

So there is a question if the conversions follow the same rule. Is there an exact conversion rate or a universal conversion factor?

The conversions between the same measurement units, for example, weight units, are straightforward.

But it does not apply to conversions between weight and volume since the result depends on the density of the ingredient.

That is why 50 grams of granulated sugar isn't equal to 50 grams of caster sugar when measured by volume.

Why? Because a gram and a tablespoon represent different measurement units: a gram is a unit of weight, and a tablespoon is a unit of volume.

Also, different countries use a few different sizes of tablespoons. Here is the tablespoons value:

Tablespoons US fluid ounces (fl oz)Milliliters ( ml)
US tablespoon 0.5 fl oz14.7868 ml
Metric tablespoon0.5 fl oz15 ml
Imperial tablespoon 0.600475 fl oz17.7582 ml
Australian tablespoon0.67628 fl oz20 ml

The chart includes conversions for liquid and non-liquid ingredients, along with oven temperatures.

When should you convert 50 grams to tablespoons?

A kitchen scale is the most accurate way to weigh 50 grams, but you do not always have one nearby. Converting to tablespoons helps when a recipe lists metric weights, and you only have measuring spoons, or when you are scaling a small amount of an ingredient like yeast, cocoa, or salt.

Keep in mind that tablespoon counts are approximate for dry, lumpy ingredients such as brown sugar or flour, so spoon them in and level off the top for the closest result.

What is a gram?

A gram is a unit of weight in the metric system. One gram is one thousandth of a kilogram, and 50 grams is a small amount that fits easily in the palm of your hand. Because it measures weight, a gram value stays the same no matter which ingredient you weigh.

What is a tablespoon?

A tablespoon is a unit of volume used for both dry and liquid ingredients. A US tablespoon holds about 14.8 milliliters, while a metric tablespoon holds 15 milliliters. Since it measures volume rather than weight, the number of grams in a tablespoon depends on the ingredient's density.
