How many tablespoons is 6 grams of ground cinnamon?
Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of ground cinnamon weighs 7.8 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171320 “Spices, cinnamon, ground”, portion “1 tsp” = 2.6 grams, and 1 US tablespoon = 3 US teaspoons. In kitchen measures that is just over 3/4 tablespoon.
6 grams of ground cinnamon equals 0.77 US tablespoons; the way back, from tablespoons to grams, is the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
The same 6 grams of ground cinnamon is 2.31 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 0.76 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 0.57 tablespoons of those.
How 6 grams of ground cinnamon was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of ground cinnamon weighs 7.8 grams (seven point eight), so divide 6 by 7.8.
6 g ÷ 7.8 g
≈0.77 tablespoons
(zero point seven seven tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171320 “Spices, cinnamon, ground”, portion “1 tsp” = 2.6 grams, and 1 US tablespoon = 3 US teaspoons. 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 ground cinnamon is 7.8 grams there and here.
