Really it should say 3 teaspoons to make sense.
1 US tablespoon = 15 ml (not 15 grams)
1 AU tablespoon = 20 ml
I think liquids like water convert pretty neatly from ml to grams but I'm pretty sure that you can't apply that rule to all foods, especially solids.0 -

Because they are specifying using a properly sized and calibrated industry standard "tablespoon" measuring device, loaded only to the rim and completely flat, packed at a density that they used when creating the labeling info.
Forget serving sizes, tablespoons and the rest.
Stick to grams.1 -
Pb2 is delicious. Especially chocolate pb2. Mix it in with some lite or low fat whip cream for "dessert" or either on bananas is good.2

It says 15gm for 3 Tablespoons.

It should not be scooped directly from the package with your measuring spoon. It will over-pack and over-measure. It should be measured like flour (or other fluffy, powdered substances); lightly spooned into the measuring device and then levelled off.
Of course, that's a pain to do with a tablespoon...so I just weigh it.2
