1 tbsp paprika in grams
1 tbsp of paprika = 6.75 grams · 14.8 ml · 3 tsp
That is one tablespoon of paprika, scooped and levelled with the back of a knife. A full US cup of paprika weighs 108 g and holds 16 tablespoons, so 1 tbsp comes to 6.75 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 108 g per US cup (236.6 ml), spooned and levelled rather than dipped. Last reviewed .
How 1 tbsp of paprika works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of paprika and multiply: 108 × 0.062 = 6.75 g. By volume that is 14.8 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, so 1 tbsp of paprika from an Australian recipe is about 9.13 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Sweet, smoked and hot paprika are not interchangeable — check which a recipe means, as smoked paprika in particular will dominate a dish.
