What counts as an ounce equivalent of grains? In general, 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or Â½ cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or cooked cereal can be considered as 1 ounce equivalent from the Grains Group.
Dry ounces are a unit of mass (or weight) and a tablespoon is a unit of volume. Therefore it depends entirely on what you are measuring -- it depends on the density. A tablespoon of lead will be much heavier than a tablespoon of feathers (although a gram of lead and a gram of feather weigh exactly the same!). Similarly, a tablespoon of butter weighs a different number of dry ounces than a tablespoon of salt. See the Web Links for a handy automatic conversion calculator. Just enter the food item, the units you have, and the units you want... and presto!
