A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of dried lentils weighs about 192 g, so one tablespoon is 12 g and 1/2 × 12 = 6 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 dried lentils?
1/2 tablespoon of dried lentils is 6 grams, based on 192 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 dried lentils 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.
