One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of cornstarch weighs 2.67 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.

The other way round: how many teaspoons a weight fills
This page starts from teaspoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many teaspoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to teaspoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of cornstarch is 37.5 teaspoons there.
