How to convert grams to us teaspoons

1 g = 0.24 tsp, so multiply by 0.24 to go from grams to US teaspoons of granulated sugar. Going the other way, 1 tsp = 4.16667 g.

tsp = g × 0.24
g = tsp × 4.16667

Cups and spoons convert to weight using the weight per cup for granulated sugar shown in the result; how the ingredient is measured (spooned, packed, sifted) changes it.

Worked example:

5 g = 5 g
÷ 0.845351 g/mL (USDA FDC 169655, 1 cup = 200 g) = 5.9147059125 mL
= 1.2 tsp
