How many grams is 15 mL? Is it 15 grams? It's for mayonnaise by the way.

    Do you have a kitchen scale to weigh it on?

    The grams will be different depending on whatever is measured.

    One mayo can also weigh different than another.

    If it was water, it's 1mL = 1gm. Mayo is surely a different density than water though.

    Though, now that I think about it, my peanut butter claimed 1tbsp (15mL) was equivalent of 15gm... I didn't think it looked right when I weighed it.

    Yes, and I put in 22 grams for a tuna sandwich, and it's light mayo.

    I weigh my food when I can, and I always have either 22 grams of all natural almond or peanut butter, or 23 grams on my oat bran.

    Water based foods are ml = grams (the definition of 1ml = the volume of 1 gram of water). For oil based foods ml = (grams - 10%). 10% of 15ml is really not worth worrying about.

    Stick to grams = ml and you'll be fine. At worst you'll be very slightly out.

    I know this is old but it came up pretty high on a google search.
    Apparently the answer is 0.972 (times the mayo grams by that to get the ml).
    Ice cream needs to be multiplied be 1.38 to go from grams to millilitres.

    124 ml of milk is 123 gms..... so in my book... basically the same.

    Don't try that with ice cream; it's about half in grams/scale ml

    convertunits.com says 15 ml = 15 g.

    Then convertunits.com is not a reliable site, as you cannot convert volume to mass/weight without knowing the specific density of what you're weighing. There's no universally applicable conversion between milliliters and grams that applies to all substances.
