How many teaspoons is 30 grams?

Answer

There is no single number — it depends on the ingredient. 30 grams fills
from 4.25 teaspoons (honey) to 17.8 teaspoons (rolled oats)

A teaspoon measures volume and grams measure weight, so 30 grams of different ingredients fills a different number of teaspoons. The table gives all 23 of them, with the packed, sifted and cooked states on rows of their own, each from the USDA FoodData Central weight of one US cup ÷ 48 — one US teaspoon (4.93 ml) is 1/48 of a US cup — or of one US teaspoon itself for baking powder, baking soda, active dry yeast and ground cinnamon; water is counted from its volume.

How 30 grams of granulated sugar was converted to teaspoons

teaspoons = grams ÷ grams in one US teaspoon

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 30 by (200 ÷ 48).

30 g ÷ (200 ÷ 48) g

=

7.2 teaspoons

(seven point 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.

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 granulated sugar is 4.17 grams there and here.
