  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of parsley weighs about 3.6 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 3.5 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 4.8 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

Parsley means fresh parsley leaves, the everyday green herb used in sauces, salads, stocks, and garnishes. One metric cup (250 ml) of chopped parsley weighs about 60 grams or 2.12 ounces. When a recipe calls for parsley by the cup but you have a bunch on the board, converting by weight keeps the amount right.

Chopped parsley settles differently depending on how fine you cut it and how firmly you pack the cup, so grams give a more reliable measure. This helps when scaling tabbouleh, gremolata, and herb sauces.

Related Parsley Ingredients

Coriander (cilantro) looks like flat-leaf parsley and is measured the same way by the cup, but its flavour is citrusy and divisive. Swap by volume only when the recipe wants that distinct taste. See what 1 tablespoon of coriander is in grams.

Mint is another fresh herb measured by the cup, sweeter and more cooling than parsley. Use mint in sweet dishes and drinks, parsley in savoury ones. See what 1 tablespoon of mint is in grams.
