What Is Grams to Teaspoons Converter?

The Grams to Teaspoons Converter is a useful tool designed to convert ingredient weights (grams) into volume (teaspoons). Since each ingredient has a different density, measuring them accurately can be challenging. For example, 1 gram of sugar does not take up the same space as 1 gram of flour.

This tool simplifies the process, making cooking and baking easier by providing the correct teaspoon measurement when a recipe lists ingredients in grams. It handles the calculations by factoring in the specific density of each ingredient.

If you are converting manually, you can use the formulas below.

Conversion Formula

The conversion uses the ingredient's density to switch between weight and volume. The standard formulas are:

Grams to Teaspoons:

$$\text{Teaspoons} = \frac{\text{Grams}}{\text{Density (g/cup)}} \times 48$$

Teaspoons to Grams:

$$\text{Grams} = \frac{\text{Teaspoons}}{48} \times \text{Density (g/cup)}$$

*Note: 1 cup equals 48 teaspoons.
