It depends on what you're measuring.

What's the tablespoon holding? Butter or oregano? Sugar or salt? Molten lead or feathers?

Grams are a unit of mass (or weight) and a tablespoon is a unit of volume. Therefore it depends entirely on what you are measuring -- it depends on the density of the substance. A tablespoon of lead will be much heavier than a tablespoon of feathers (although a gram of lead and a gram of feathers weigh exactly the same!). Similarly, a tablespoon of butter weighs a different number of grams than a tablespoon of salt.

See the Web Links for a handy automatic conversion calculator. Just enter the food item, the units you have, and the units you want... and presto!

For instance (for US tablespoon):

1 tablespoon of water weighs 14.79 grams

1 tablespoon of table salt weighs 18.25 grams

1 tablespoon of butter weighs 14.19 grams

1 tablespoon of oil (canola or soy) weighs 13.62 grams

1 tablespoon of sugar (granulated) weighs 12.5 grams

1 tablespoon of sugar (brown) weighs 13.8 grams (packed)

Some other useful conversions:

16 tablespoons = 1 cup

3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon

28.35 grams = 1 dry ounce

1 US tablespoon = 14.7867648 ml

The number of grams in a tablespoon can vary depending on what substance you are measuring. For example, a tablespoon of water weighs about 15 grams, while a tablespoon of flour weighs about 7-8 grams. It's important to check the specific conversion for the ingredient you are using.
