FAQ

How many teaspoons is 5 grams?

It depends on the ingredient, because a teaspoon measures volume and grams measure weight. 5 grams is 1.2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, 0.82 teaspoons of table salt, 1.09 teaspoons of baking powder and 1.01 teaspoons of water.

How do you convert grams to teaspoons?

Divide the grams by the weight of one teaspoon of that ingredient. USDA gives a US cup of granulated sugar as 200 grams, and a cup is 48 teaspoons, so a teaspoon of sugar weighs 4.17 grams and 10 grams of sugar is 2.4 teaspoons.

Is baking soda the same as baking powder here?

By weight, yes: USDA lists a teaspoon of each as 4.6 grams. In a recipe, no — baking soda needs an acid to rise and is several times stronger, so the two are never swapped one for one.

Is this a US teaspoon or a metric one?

A level US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. The metric teaspoon is 5 ml, 1.4 % larger — close enough for cooking, while for baking powder and yeast a scale is safer.
