Tsp to Grams

Fine Baking Chemistry & Spice Density Standards

Converting teaspoons (volume) to grams (mass) requires knowing the substance's bulk density (ρ):

• Mass (g) = Volume (tsp) × 4.9289 mL × ρ

• 1 US Teaspoon (tsp): (1) / (3) Tablespoon (tbsp) = 4.928922 mL ≈ 5.0 mL Metric

Worked Example

One teaspoon of table salt weighs 5.7 grams, whereas one teaspoon of baking powder weighs 4.8 grams, and one teaspoon of active dry yeast weighs 3.1 grams.

Understanding Your Result

Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
