A culinary volume unit where 1 tablespoon (U.S.) = 3 teaspoons ≈ 14.79 mL, often rounded to 15 mL. Widely used in Western recipes (e.g., “add 2 Tbs olive oil”). Chinese households commonly use “spoons” without standardization, while standardized tablespoon units mainly appear in imported kitchenware or international recipes.
