How 28 grams of granulated sugar was converted to teaspoons
A teaspoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs 4.17 grams (four point one seven), so divide 28 by (200 ÷ 48).
28 g ÷ (200 ÷ 48) g
=6.72 teaspoons
(six point seven two teaspoons)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 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.
