Grams to Teaspoons Converter

Weight to Volume Conversion

Convert between weight and volume units for cooking ingredients with accurate density calculations.

Converter

Override ingredient density with custom value

Conversion Formula:
Volume (ml) = Weight (g) / Density (g/ml)
Current density: 1.00 g/ml

Common Conversions

1 tsp β‰ˆ 4.93 ml
1 tbsp β‰ˆ 14.79 ml
1 cup β‰ˆ 236.59 ml
1 oz β‰ˆ 28.35 g
1 lb β‰ˆ 453.59 g
1 fl oz β‰ˆ 29.57 ml

How It Works

Converting weight to volume requires knowing the ingredient's density (mass per unit volume).

Formula:

Volume = Weight / Density

Example:

100g sugar Γ· 0.85 g/ml = 117.65 ml β‰ˆ 23.87 tsp

Ingredient Densities

Light:

Flour (0.53), Cocoa (0.52)

Medium:

Sugar (0.85), Rice (0.85), Oil (0.92)

Heavy:

Salt (1.2), Honey (1.42), Baking soda (2.2)

Tips

  • Different ingredients have different densities
  • Packed vs unpacked affects volume
  • Use custom density for accuracy
  • Rounded values work for cooking
  • Precise values for baking
  • Temperature affects density

Use Cases

  • Recipe conversions (metric to imperial)
  • Baking measurements
  • Cooking ingredient substitutions
  • Nutritional calculations
  • Food science experiments
  • International recipe adaptation
  • Meal planning and prep
  • Dietary tracking

Why Density Matters

Key Points:

Different densities: 100g of flour takes more space than 100g of honey

Accuracy: Using correct density ensures precise conversions

Baking: Precision is critical for successful results

Cooking: Slight variations are usually acceptable
