How many tablespoons is 1 gram of table salt?
Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of table salt weighs 18.3 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
1 gram of table salt equals 0.0548 US tablespoons; the way back, from tablespoons to grams, is the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
The same 1 gram of table salt is 0.00342 US cups or 0.16 US teaspoons.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) is 1.4 % larger and takes 0.054 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 0.0405 tablespoons of those.
How 1 gram of table salt was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of table salt weighs 18.3 grams (eighteen point three), so divide 1 by 18.25.
1 g ÷ 18.25 g
≈0.0548 tablespoons
(zero point zero five four eight tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173468 “Salt, table”, portion “1 cup” = 292 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many grams in a tablespoon
This page starts from grams and answers in tablespoons. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s tablespoons weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the tablespoons to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US tablespoon of table salt is 18.3 grams there and here.
