How many tablespoons is 500 grams of all-purpose flour?
Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of all-purpose flour weighs 7.81 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
500 grams of all-purpose flour equals 64 US tablespoons; the way back, from tablespoons to grams, is the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
The same 500 grams of all-purpose flour is 4 US cups or 192 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 63.1 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 47.3 tablespoons of those.
How 500 grams of all-purpose flour was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of all-purpose flour weighs 7.81 grams (seven point eight one), so divide 500 by 7.8125.
500 g ÷ 7.8125 g
=64 tablespoons
(sixty-four tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 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 all-purpose flour is 7.81 grams there and here.
