How Many Grams is a Teaspoon {FREE PRINTOUT}

This article on How Many Grams is a Teaspoon will share free printouts, measuring guides, printable cards and more to help you convert grams in a teaspoon quickly and easily.

What it really comes down to when converting a gram to a teaspoon is that you’re using a weight measurement (grams) in place of a volume measurement (teaspoons)… or vice versa.

This will mean the grams of sugar in a teaspoon will be different than grams of oil or water in a tsp… because the weight is different from sugar, to water, to oil.

Below we will share the equation for convert grams to teaspoons, so that you can convert any ingredient easily.

Learn how to convert grams to tsp for both wet and dry ingredients below…

How to Convert Teaspoons to Grams

As we noted above… converting tsp to grams means you’re converting volume (how much space something takes up) into weight (how much something weights).

This means that the grams in one teaspoon of sugar, will be different than the grams in one teaspoon of water. Because water weighs more than sugar.

Measuring Teaspoons = By Volume

A teaspoon is a volume measured household cooking measure equal to¹₃ tablespoon (about 5 milliliters). (1)

Based off of volume means that a teaspoon will be measured by how much space it takes up.

For instance, how much space does the ingredients take up in the above tools.

Each ingredient will have a different weight, this is why measuring by grams is very different than by measuring in teaspoons.

Measuring Grams = By Weight

A gram is a a metric unit of mass equal to ¹/₁₀₀₀ kilogram and nearly equal to the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density. (2)

Unlike teaspoons (which are measured by volume) grams are measured by weight. Which will mean 1 teaspoon of water will not be the same as 1 teaspoon of sugar when converted to grams.

For instance, how much do the ingredients weigh, using the above tool.

Since every ingredient will have a different weight, it is important to use a kitchen scale (or our conversion chart) to get the correct measurement in grams.

The equation to convert a teaspoon measurement to a gram measurements as follows:

Multiply the volume by 4.928922 times the density of the ingredient or material. The volume in grams is equal to the teaspoons multiplied by 4.928922 times the density of the ingredient or material.
