Convert grams to teaspoons for sugar, salt, flour, baking powder and other ingredients using typical weights per teaspoon, or convert teaspoons to grams.
Grams To tsp Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the conversion from grams to teaspoons.
Variables:
- Tsp is the volume in teaspoons
- G is mass in grams; rho is density in g/mL, and V_tsp is mL per teaspoon (US customary4.92892159375 or metric5).
Divide grams by density times the selected teaspoon volume. The water table assumes approximately1g/mL. Other presets use cooking portions from the King Arthur ingredient chart, converted using48 US teaspoons per cup; these are editable recipe estimates rather than precise material densities.

What Does “Grams to Tsp” Mean?
Grams to teaspoons (g to tsp) is a conversion used in cooking to measure dry ingredients. Grams are a metric unit for measuring mass, while teaspoons are a unit of volume often used in cooking recipes, particularly in the United States. The conversion between the two isn’t straightforward as it depends on the specific ingredient’s density. For example, a teaspoon of sugar weighs more than a teaspoon of flour. Therefore, conversion charts or online tools are often used to estimate grams from teaspoons or teaspoons from grams.
