A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of ground flaxseed weighs about 100 g, so one tablespoon is 6.3 g and 1/2 × 6.3 = 3.1 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 ground flaxseed?
1/2 tablespoon of ground flaxseed is 3.1 grams, based on 100 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 ground flaxseed 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.
