Millet (uncooked) by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of millet (uncooked) weighs about 12.5g, and one teaspoon about 4.17g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon millet (uncooked) to grams = 12.5g

- 3 tablespoons millet (uncooked) = 37.5g
- 1 teaspoon millet (uncooked) = 4.17g

How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of millet (uncooked)?

How to measure millet (uncooked) accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh millet (uncooked) on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of millet (uncooked) weighs about 200 grams (7.05 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts millet (uncooked) and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Toast millet in a dry pan until fragrant before adding liquid — it brings out a nutty flavour and helps the grains stay separate.
