Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams are in a teaspoon of sugar?
One teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs approximately 4.2 grams. This can vary slightly depending on how finely the sugar is ground and how tightly it is packed.
Why does the grams-to-teaspoon conversion differ by ingredient?
Different ingredients have different densities. For example, a teaspoon of salt (6 g) weighs much more than a teaspoon of flour (2.6 g) because salt crystals are much denser than flour particles.
Is it better to measure by weight or volume when baking?
Measuring by weight (grams) is more accurate and consistent than measuring by volume (teaspoons, cups). Professional bakers almost always measure by weight to get reproducible results.
