How many grams is 5 teaspoons of granulated sugar?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of granulated sugar weighs 4.17 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169655 “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup” = 200 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.
5 teaspoons of granulated sugar equals 20.8 grams; the way back, from grams to teaspoons, is the Grams to Teaspoons converter.
5 US teaspoons of granulated sugar is also 1 2/3 US tablespoons — the same 20.8 grams.
This is the level US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. A recipe written for the metric teaspoon of 5 ml means 1.4 % more: 21.1 grams.
How 5 teaspoons of granulated sugar was converted to grams
One US teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs 4.17 grams (four point one seven), so multiply 5 by (200 ÷ 48).
5 × (200 ÷ 48) g
≈20.8 grams
(twenty point eight grams)
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.
