What Is the Grams to Teaspoons Converter?

The Grams to Teaspoons Converter converts between grams and teaspoons using ingredient density. Teaspoons are a common volume measure in cooking, but recipes from Europe and Asia often list ingredients by weight in grams. This tool makes those conversions quick and accurate.

One teaspoon equals $5\ mL$. The converter uses ingredient density to translate mass to volume and also shows tablespoons, milliliters, and cups. Seventeen kitchen ingredients are included with preset densities.

Conversion Formulas

To convert grams to teaspoons:

$$\text{tsp} = \frac{m_g}{\rho \times 5}$$

To convert teaspoons to grams:

$$m_g = \text{tsp} \times 5 \times \rho$$

Where $m_g$ is mass in grams, $\rho$ is density in $g/mL$, and $5$ is the milliliters per teaspoon. For example, one teaspoon of honey at $1.42\ g/mL$ weighs $1.42 \times 5 = 7.1\ g$.

Tablespoons relate to teaspoons by a factor of three: $1\ \text{tbsp} = 3\ \text{tsp}$.
