How 4 teaspoons of sour cream was converted to grams
One US teaspoon of sour cream weighs 4.79 grams (four point seven nine), so multiply 4 by (230 ÷ 48).
4 × (230 ÷ 48) g
≈19.2 grams
(nineteen point two grams)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171257 “Cream, sour, cultured”, portion “1 cup” = 230 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.
