How to convert tablespoons of quinoa to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of quinoa weighs about 170 g, so one tablespoon is 11 g and 6 × 11 = 64 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 6 tablespoons of quinoa?
6 tablespoons of quinoa is 64 grams, based on 170 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 quinoa 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.
