How to convert tablespoons of cornstarch to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of cornstarch weighs about 120 g, so one tablespoon is 7.5 g and 1/2 × 7.5 = 3.7 g.
Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch?
1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch is 3.7 grams, based on 120 g per level US cup.
Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
Should I weigh cornstarch or measure it by volume?
Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
