A tablespoon (abbreviated as “tbsp”) is a unit of volume in the US customary system and the imperial system. It is defined as 1/16 of a US fluid ounce or 1/2 of a US fluid dram. A milliliter (abbreviated as “ml”) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as 1/1000 of a liter. Therefore, 1 ml is equal to about 0.0338 fluid ounces or 0.0021 fluid drams. This means that there are about 29.57 ml in a tablespoon.
The conversion between ml and tablespoons is important in cooking, baking, and other applications where precise measurements are required. For example, a recipe may call for 1/2 cup of milk. If you only have a tablespoon on hand, you would need to measure out 14.79 ml of milk.
