How to Convert Grams to Teaspoons

The real challenge in converting grams to teaspoons is not the problem of converting metric measurements to traditional ones; it's that grams measure weight and teaspoons measure volume. It's difficult to convert between the two, because a teaspoon of peanut butter has a different weight than a teaspoon of sugar.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Calculator
  1. Step 1

    Try the Internet. Use a gram calculator from a website like Gourmet Sleuth (see Resources) to get an approximate conversion.

  2. Step 2

    Divide by four. Divide the number of grams per serving by four to get the approximate number of teaspoons.

  3. Step 3

    Find out the exact weight of a teaspoon of the ingredient.(see Resources). Then divide the grams by that number to get an exact weight.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you are cooking, don't worry too much about getting an exact conversion.
  • Save yourself the worry and look for a different version of the recipe.
