Understanding Grams to Teaspoons Conversion
Why Weight vs Volume Matters
Converting between grams (weight) and teaspoons (volume) depends on the ingredient's density. A teaspoon of flour weighs much less than a teaspoon of honey because of their different densities.
Cooking Accuracy
- •Baking requires precise measurements for best results
- •Small quantities like spices can vary significantly
- •Different brands may have slight density variations
- •Humidity affects powdered ingredients
Conversion Formula
Teaspoons = Grams ÷ (Grams per Teaspoon)

Ingredient Categories & Tips
Liquids (5-7g/tsp)
Water, milk, oils, and vinegars. Most consistent measurements.
Sugars (3-4g/tsp)
Granulated sugar is heavier than powdered. Brown sugar packs denser.
Spices (1-3g/tsp)
Much lighter than other ingredients. Ground spices vary in density.
Baking Ingredients
Flour, baking powder, and starches. Level measurements are crucial.
Fats (4-5g/tsp)
Butter, oils, and margarine. Temperature affects consistency.
Herbs (1-2g/tsp)
Dried herbs are very light. Fresh herbs weigh more due to moisture.
