1 tbsp vinegar in grams
1 tbsp of vinegar = 14.9 grams · 14.8 ml · 3 tsp
That is one tablespoon of vinegar, filled to the rim rather than domed. A full US cup of vinegar weighs 239 g and holds 16 tablespoons, so 1 tbsp comes to 14.9 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 239 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How 1 tbsp of vinegar works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of vinegar and multiply: 239 × 0.062 = 14.9 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 vinegar from an Australian recipe is about 20.2 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Standard vinegars sit around 5% acidity; if a recipe relies on the acid (for example to activate baking soda), don't substitute a much milder or stronger vinegar.
