Convert teaspoons to grams for precise cooking and baking
Formula: Grams = Teaspoons × 4.93g/tsp
1 tsp × 4.93 = 4.93g
| Teaspoons | Grams (g) |
|---|---|
| 0.25 tsp | 1.2g |
| 0.5 tsp | 2.5g |
| 0.75 tsp | 3.7g |
| 1 tsp | 4.9g |
| 1.5 tsp | 7.4g |
| 2 tsp | 9.9g |
| 2.5 tsp | 12.3g |
| 3 tsp | 14.8g |
| 4 tsp | 19.7g |
| 5 tsp | 24.6g |
| 6 tsp | 29.6g |
| 9 tsp | 44.4g |
| 12 tsp | 59.2g |
Teaspoons are the smallest common measuring unit in cooking, primarily used for small quantities like spices, leavening agents, salt, and extracts. Converting to grams ensures precision, especially for ingredients where small variations can significantly impact the recipe outcome.
In baking, the difference between 1 and 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder can mean the difference between perfect rise and a dense cake. For salt, the variation between table salt and kosher salt can change the flavor significantly. Weight measurements eliminate these variables.
Standard teaspoon sizes vary slightly:
It depends on the ingredient. Water is approximately 5g per teaspoon, salt is 6g, sugar is 4.2g, and flour is 2.6g. Always use ingredient-specific conversions for accurate measurements.
Salt crystals are denser and pack more tightly than sugar granules. This is why the same volume (1 teaspoon) of salt weighs more (6g) than sugar (4.2g). Always measure by weight for consistency.
Multiply the fraction by the grams per teaspoon. For example, 1/4 tsp of salt = 0.25 × 6g = 1.5g. Common fractions: 1/4 tsp = 0.25, 1/2 tsp = 0.5, 3/4 tsp = 0.75.
Yes! A heaping teaspoon can contain 50-100% more ingredient than a level teaspoon. For consistent results, always level off your teaspoons with a straight edge, especially for baking.
