How many grams is 8 teaspoons of sifted powdered sugar?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of sifted powdered sugar weighs 2.08 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169656 “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup sifted” = 100 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.
8 teaspoons of sifted powdered sugar equals 16.7 grams; the way back, from grams to teaspoons, is the Grams to Teaspoons converter.
Unsifted powdered sugar weighs 2.5 grams per teaspoon, so 8 teaspoons of it is 20 grams.
8 US teaspoons of sifted powdered sugar is also 2 2/3 US tablespoons — the same 16.7 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: 16.9 grams.
How 8 teaspoons of sifted powdered sugar was converted to grams
One US teaspoon of sifted powdered sugar weighs 2.08 grams (two point zero eight), so multiply 8 by (100 ÷ 48).
8 × (100 ÷ 48) g
≈16.7 grams
(sixteen point seven grams)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169656 “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup sifted” = 100 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 sifted powdered sugar is 48 teaspoons there.
