70 grams is approximately 4.67 tablespoons.
This conversion is based on the fact that 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour weighs around 15 grams. Therefore, dividing 70 grams by 15 gives about 4.67 tablespoons. This method simplifies understanding how weight translates into volume measurements for common cooking ingredients.
Conversion Result
Using the conversion, 70 grams equals roughly 4.67 tablespoons for ingredients with similar density to flour.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to tablespoons is: grams divided by grams per tablespoon. Since 1 tablespoon of flour weighs about 15 grams, the calculation is grams / 15. This works because it relates weight to volume based on known ingredient density.
For example, 45 grams divided by 15 equals 3 tablespoons. If you want to convert 70 grams, you do 70 / 15 = 4.67 tablespoons. This method assumes ingredient density similar to flour, so for other ingredients, the grams per tablespoon may vary.
Conversion Example
- Convert 100 grams to tablespoons:
- Step 1: Use the formula grams / 15.
- Step 2: 100 / 15 = 6.67.
- Result: 100 grams is approximately 6.67 tablespoons.
- Convert 50 grams to tablespoons:
- Step 1: 50 / 15.
- Step 2: 3.33.
- Result: 50 grams is about 3.33 tablespoons.
- Convert 80 grams to tablespoons:
- Step 1: 80 / 15.
- Step 2: 5.33.
- Result: 80 grams equals approximately 5.33 tablespoons.
- Convert 60 grams to tablespoons:
- Step 1: 60 / 15.
- Step 2: 4.00.
- Result: 60 grams is about 4.00 tablespoons.

Conversion Definitions
Grams: A metric unit of mass measuring the weight of an object, commonly used in cooking and weighing ingredients. It is part of the International System of Units (SI) and equals one-thousandth of a kilogram.
Tablespoons: A volume measurement unit traditionally used in cooking, typically equal to 15 milliliters in the US. It helps in measuring small quantities of liquids and dry ingredients for recipes.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is using 15 grams per tablespoon for all ingredients?
While 15 grams per tablespoon is a standard for flour, other ingredients like sugar or butter may have different weights per tablespoon. For accurate measurement, check specific density values for each ingredient.
Can I use this conversion for liquids?
This calculation is designed for dry ingredients with similar density to flour. For liquids, 1 tablespoon typically equals 14.8 milliliters, so convert grams to milliliters first then to tablespoons for better accuracy.
What if I need to convert 70 grams of a sticky ingredient?
Sticky ingredients may pack differently, affecting volume. For precise results, use a measuring spoon designed for such ingredients or weigh them directly, since volume conversions may not be accurate for sticky or dense items.
Is this conversion valid for all types of flour?
No, different flour types (like whole wheat, almond, or coconut) have varying densities, so grams per tablespoon may differ. Always check specific density data for each ingredient type for accurate conversions.
How do I convert grams of a liquid to tablespoons?
For liquids, convert grams to milliliters assuming the density is close to water (1 g = 1 ml), then divide by 15 (or 14.8) for tablespoons. For precise work, use a liquid measuring spoon or scale with volume measurements.
