Convert grams to teaspoons for precise cooking and baking
Formula: Teaspoons = Grams ÷ 4.93g/tsp
5g ÷ 4.93 = 1.01 tsp
| Grams (g) | Teaspoons |
|---|---|
| 1g | 0.20 tsp |
| 2g | 0.41 tsp |
| 3g | 0.61 tsp |
| 5g | 1.01 tsp |
| 7g | 1.42 tsp |
| 10g | 2.03 tsp |
| 12g | 2.43 tsp |
| 15g | 3.04 tsp |
| 20g | 4.06 tsp |
| 25g | 5.07 tsp |
| 30g | 6.09 tsp |
| 40g | 8.11 tsp |
| 50g | 10.14 tsp |
Converting grams to teaspoons is essential when working with recipes that use different measurement systems. This conversion is particularly important for small quantities of ingredients like salt, baking powder, and spices, where precision significantly affects the final result.
The same weight in grams translates to different teaspoon volumes for different ingredients:
For certain ingredients, even small variations matter:
Divide the grams by the grams per teaspoon for your specific ingredient. For example, 10g of sugar ÷ 4.2g/tsp = 2.38 teaspoons, which rounds to 2 1/4 teaspoons for practical use.
Convert to fractions for easier measuring: 2.33 tsp ≈ 2 1/3 tsp. Alternatively, convert to tablespoons and teaspoons: 2.33 tsp = 2 tsp + 1 tsp, or use 2 1/4 tsp as a close approximation.
For water and similar liquids, remember that 5g ≈ 1 tsp. For salt, 6g ≈ 1 tsp. For sugar, 4g ≈ 1 tsp. For flour, 2.5g ≈ 1 tsp. These quick references work for rough estimates.
A digital scale is more accurate and costs less than $20. It's especially valuable for baking and when scaling recipes. However, teaspoons are perfectly fine for everyday cooking and small quantities.
