Ingredient Gram to Teaspoon Conversions

Not all gram to teaspoon conversions are the same, and depend on the specific ingredients density. This conversion is not always clear, because a gram is a unit of weight, whereas a teaspoon is a unit of volume.

For example let’s look at a teaspoon of sugar. 4.2 grams of sugar would be equal to 1 teaspoon, instead of the general 5 grams per teaspoon. The added sugar is less dense, so it takes less grams to equal a teaspoon.

Ingredient	1 Teaspoon (tsp) =
Water	4.93 g
