How many teaspoons is 1 gram of butter?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of butter weighs 4.73 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.
1 gram of butter equals 0.21 US teaspoons; the way back, from teaspoons to grams, is the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
The same 1 gram of butter is 0.00441 US cups or 0.0705 US tablespoons.
This is the level US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. The metric teaspoon of 5 ml is 1.4 % larger, so the same weight fills 0.21 teaspoons of that size.
How 1 gram of butter was converted to teaspoons
A teaspoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US teaspoon of butter weighs 4.73 grams (four point seven three), so divide 1 by (227 ÷ 48).
1 g ÷ (227 ÷ 48) g
≈0.21 teaspoons
(zero point two one teaspoons)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a teaspoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many grams in a teaspoon
This page starts from grams and answers in teaspoons. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s teaspoons weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the teaspoons to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US teaspoon of butter is 4.73 grams there and here.
