How many teaspoons is 4 grams of ground cinnamon?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of ground cinnamon weighs 2.6 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171320 “Spices, cinnamon, ground”, portion “1 tsp” = 2.6 grams. In kitchen measures that is just over 1 1/2 teaspoons.
4 grams of ground cinnamon equals 1.54 US teaspoons; the way back, from teaspoons to grams, is the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
The same 4 grams of ground cinnamon is 0.51 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 1.52 teaspoons of that size.
How 4 grams of ground cinnamon was converted to teaspoons
A teaspoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US teaspoon of ground cinnamon weighs 2.6 grams (two point six), so divide 4 by 2.6.
4 g ÷ 2.6 g
≈1.54 teaspoons
(one point five four teaspoons)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171320 “Spices, cinnamon, ground”, portion “1 tsp” = 2.6 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 ground cinnamon is 2.6 grams there and here.
