Small quantities in baking and cooking are often given in grams on one recipe and teaspoons on another — this bridges the two.
How it works
A US cup is exactly 48 teaspoons, so dividing the ingredient’s grams-per-cup density by 48 gives grams per teaspoon; dividing the entered grams by that figure gives teaspoons.
What this does not include
This does not include every possible ingredient — only the six most commonly searched baking staples are built in.
How to use this calculator
- Select the ingredient and enter the amount in grams.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a teaspoon of sugar weigh differently than a teaspoon of flour?
Because a teaspoon is a fixed volume, and each ingredient packs a different mass into that same small volume.
Is there a metric teaspoon that’s different?
Some countries round a “metric teaspoon” to exactly 5 mL; this calculator uses the US customary teaspoon (1/48 of a US cup).
What’s this most useful for?
Small-quantity ingredients like spices, baking powder, or salt, where a kitchen scale may not read precisely enough and a teaspoon measure is more practical.
