How Gram to Teaspoon Dry Calculator Works

1

Enter your dry ingredient weight

Type the gram amount from a recipe or label. Dry ingredients range in density from light flours to dense salts.

2

Select the dry ingredient

Choose from sugars, flours, salts, baking agents, spices, grains, and more. Each has its own density.

3

Get the teaspoon result

The calculator uses the selected ingredient's density to deliver an accurate teaspoon conversion instantly.

Dry ingredients vary widely in density. Flour (0.53 g/mL) is much lighter than salt (1.22 g/mL). A "gram to teaspoon" conversion is only meaningful when you specify which dry ingredient you are measuring.

Gram to Teaspoon Dry Calculator Formula

teaspoons = grams ÷ (density × 4.92892)

Density varies per dry ingredient (see dropdown). 4.92892 is the volume of one US teaspoon in milliliters.

Reverse formula: grams = teaspoons × density × 4.92892

Example: 10 g of baking soda

1 Density of baking soda = 1.10 g/mL
2 tsp = 10 ÷ (1.10 × 4.92892)
3 tsp = 10 ÷ 5.42181
4 tsp ≈ 1.84
5 10 grams of baking soda ≈ 1.84 teaspoons

Frequently Asked Questions

Because they have different densities. Salt (1.22 g/mL) is over twice as dense as flour (0.53 g/mL), so the same gram weight of flour fills more than twice as many teaspoons.

Table salt at 6.01 grams per teaspoon, followed by baking soda at 5.42 grams per teaspoon.

Rolled oats at about 1.53 grams per teaspoon, followed by cake flour at about 2.37 grams per teaspoon.

Yes. Ground cinnamon (0.56 g/mL) is included. For other ground spices, density typically falls between 0.45–0.70 g/mL.

Absolutely. Packed brown sugar (0.93 g/mL) is denser than loose brown sugar. Scooped flour is denser than spooned flour. These densities assume standard, unpacked measurements unless noted.
