How many teaspoons is 1 gram of active dry yeast?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of active dry yeast weighs 4 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 175043 “Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry”, portion “1 tsp” = 4 grams. In kitchen measures that is exactly 1/4 teaspoon.
1 gram of active dry yeast equals 0.25 US teaspoons; the way back, from teaspoons to grams, is the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
The same 1 gram of active dry yeast is 0.0833 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 0.25 teaspoons of that size.
How 1 gram of active dry yeast was converted to teaspoons
A teaspoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US teaspoon of active dry yeast weighs 4 grams (four), so divide 1 by 4.
1 g ÷ 4 g
=0.25 teaspoons
(zero point two five teaspoons)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 175043 “Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry”, portion “1 tsp” = 4 grams. 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 active dry yeast is 4 grams there and here.
