Flour Conversion Chart (1 g – 250 g)

Thirty common amounts, with the decimal and the nearest practical spoon. Below a quarter teaspoon the fraction is dropped, because rounding would be larger than the quantity.

Flour from 1 g to 250 g. One tablespoon weighs 7.50 g, so every row is that figure divided into the amount.

Flour Types Compared

Not every flour weighs the same per spoon. All-Purpose Flour is the heaviest at 7.50 g per tablespoon and Almond Flour the lightest at 6.00 g — a difference of 25%.

The Flour Measuring Pitfall

How you fill the cup matters more than which wheat flour you use. King Arthur measured a spooned and levelled cup at 120 g against a scooped cup at up to 160 g — a third more flour, from nothing but technique. Spoon it into the measure and level it off; never scoop with the measuring cup itself, which compacts the flour as it goes in.

All-purpose, bread and cake flour weigh the same per tablespoon on the figures this site uses — what separates them is protein content, not density. Wholewheat and almond flour are the two that genuinely differ, both lighter per spoon than white flour, so those are the ones worth checking before you measure rather than assuming a flour is a flour.

Flour in US, Metric and Australian Tablespoons

One tablespoon of flour weighs 7.50 g in a US spoon, 7.61 g in a metric spoon and 10.1 g in an Australian one. An Australian tablespoon holds 35.3% more volume than a US one, so the same weight needs 26.1% fewer of them.

Flour FAQ

How many grams is 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour?

One US tablespoon of all-purpose flour weighs 7.50 g. A 15 ml metric tablespoon holds 7.61 g and a 20 ml Australian tablespoon holds 10.1 g of it.

Why does all-purpose flour convert differently from other ingredients?

Because its density is 0.5072 g per ml. Density is the whole conversion: multiply it by the spoon volume to get the weight of one spoonful, then divide your grams by that.

Do different types of all-purpose flour weigh the same?

Not always. The comparison table above lists each variety we hold a sourced density for. Where two varieties differ, use the one your recipe names rather than the general figure.

Where does your all-purpose flour density come from?

From King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart: 1 cup = 120 g (spooned & levelled). We publish the source URL for every ingredient and record the published spread on our methodology page rather than averaging sources silently.

Should I measure all-purpose flour by weight instead?

Where you can, yes. NIST's own guidance for the metric kitchen is that mass is the reliable measure, because how you fill a spoon changes what a spoonful weighs. Volume conversions like this one are for when a scale is not to hand.

What if I need less than a tablespoon of all-purpose flour?

Results under one tablespoon are shown in teaspoons, since 1 tablespoon is 3 teaspoons in all three conventions. Below a quarter teaspoon we stop offering a fraction and recommend a scale — at that size two very different weights would round to the same marking.
