How to convert tablespoons of couscous to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of couscous weighs about 173 g, so one tablespoon is 11 g and 1/2 × 11 = 5.4 g.
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1/2 tablespoon of couscous?
1/2 tablespoon of couscous is 5.4 grams, based on 173 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 couscous or measure it by volume?
Grains settle when shaken, so pour them in loosely and level off rather than tapping the cup. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
