Tsp to Grams Calculator
Convert teaspoons to grams for your recipe ingredients. Because each ingredient has a different density, a teaspoon of salt weighs much more than a teaspoon of flour. Pick your ingredient from the list and get a precise gram weight.
Recipes from around the world use either volume (teaspoons) or weight (grams) to specify small amounts. Weighing ingredients gives more consistent results, especially in baking where precision matters.
Teaspoon to Grams Reference:
| Ingredient | 1 tsp (g) | 2 tsp (g) | 3 tsp / 1 tbsp (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Granulated Sugar | 4.2 | 8.4 | 12.6 |
| Table Salt | 6.0 | 12.0 | 18.0 |
| All-Purpose Flour | 2.6 | 5.2 | 7.8 |
| Baking Powder | 4.6 | 9.2 | 13.8 |
| Baking Soda | 4.6 | 9.2 | 13.8 |
| Butter | 4.7 | 9.4 | 14.1 |
| Honey | 7.1 | 14.2 | 21.3 |
| Olive Oil | 4.5 | 9.0 | 13.5 |
| Cocoa Powder | 1.8 | 3.6 | 5.4 |
| Active Dry Yeast | 3.1 | 6.2 | 9.3 |
Useful relationships: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon. 1 US teaspoon = 4.93 mL. These hold true regardless of the ingredient.
Tip: When a recipe says "1 level teaspoon," fill the spoon and scrape the top flat with a straight edge. A heaped teaspoon can hold nearly twice the weight of a level one.
