How many grams is 6 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.
6 teaspoons of granulated sugar equals 25 grams; the way back, from grams to teaspoons, is the Grams to Teaspoons converter.
6 US teaspoons of granulated sugar is also 1/8 US cup or 2 US tablespoons — the same 25 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: 25.4 grams.
How 6 teaspoons of granulated sugar was converted to grams
One US teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs 4.17 grams (four point one seven), so multiply 6 by (200 ÷ 48).
6 × (200 ÷ 48) g
=25 grams
(twenty-five 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.

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 granulated sugar is 24 teaspoons there.
