How many grams is 1/2 tablespoon 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.
1/2 tablespoon of all-purpose flour equals 3.91 grams; the way back, from grams to tablespoons, is the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
1/2 US tablespoon of all-purpose flour is also 1 1/2 US teaspoons — the same 3.91 grams.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 5.28 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 3.96 grams.
How 1/2 tablespoon of all-purpose flour was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of all-purpose flour weighs 7.81 grams (seven point eight one), so multiply 1/2 by 7.8125.
1/2 × 7.8125 g
≈3.91 grams
(three point nine one grams)
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 tablespoons a weight fills
This page starts from tablespoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many tablespoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to tablespoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of all-purpose flour is 12.8 tablespoons there.
