How it's calculated
tsp = g ÷ d
g = grams, tsp = teaspoons, d = grams per teaspoon for the ingredient (granulated sugar ≈ 4.2, water ≈ 4.93, flour ≈ 2.6).
Common values
| Ingredient | 1 tsp (grams) |
|---|---|
| Granulated sugar | 4.2 |
| Table salt | 6.0 |
| All-purpose flour | 2.6 |
| Baking powder | 4.6 |
Common questions
How many grams in a teaspoon of sugar?
A level teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs about 4.2 grams.
Why isn't there one conversion?
Ingredients have different densities, so a teaspoon of salt weighs more than a teaspoon of flour.
