How many teaspoons is 30 grams of all-purpose flour?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of all-purpose flour weighs 2.6 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons. In kitchen measures that is just over 11 1/2 teaspoons.
30 grams of all-purpose flour equals 11.5 US teaspoons; the way back, from teaspoons to grams, is the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
The same 30 grams of all-purpose flour is 0.24 US cups or 3.84 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 11.4 teaspoons of that size.
How 30 grams of all-purpose flour was converted to teaspoons
A teaspoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US teaspoon of all-purpose flour weighs 2.6 grams (two point six), so divide 30 by (125 ÷ 48).
30 g ÷ (125 ÷ 48) g
≈11.5 teaspoons
(eleven point five teaspoons)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 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 all-purpose flour is 2.6 grams there and here.
