Convert Tablespoons to Grams: Baking Soda
Convert tablespoons of baking soda to grams with this precise reference table. 1 tablespoon of baking soda = 14.4g. There are 16 tablespoons in 1 US cup (230g). The table below covers 1 tbsp through 16 tbsp (1 full cup). Tablespoon measurements are especially common for baking soda in small-batch recipes and is the standard unit in US recipe measurements for amounts under 1/4 cup.

| 1 tbsp | 14.4g |
| 2 tbsp | 28.8g |
| 3 tbsp | 43.1g |
| 4 tbsp (1/4 cup) | 57.5g |

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is 3-4x more powerful than baking powder. 1 teaspoon = 4.6g. Requires an acid (buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice) to activate. Substituting requires adjusting recipe acid content.
About Baking Soda Density
The density of baking soda determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.9g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of baking soda weighs 230g under USDA standard conditions.
1 tablespoon = 1/16 cup = 15ml. For baking soda, this equals 14.4g per tablespoon. Tablespoon measurements are useful for amounts between 1 teaspoon and 1/4 cup. For very precise recipes, weigh tablespoon amounts on a scale to avoid density variation errors.
