Conversion Formula
The formula to convert grams to teaspoons relies on the fact that 1 gram of water equals roughly 0.2369 teaspoons. So, for any weight in grams, multiply it by 0.2369 to find the equivalent teaspoons. For example, 15 grams times 0.2369 equals approximately 3.5535 teaspoons.
This works because the conversion factor (0.2369) is derived from the density of water, allowing a straightforward multiplication to switch from grams to teaspoons. It assumes similar density for the substance in question.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply: 20 x 0.2369 = 4.738 teaspoons.
- Convert 10 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply: 10 x 0.2369 = 2.369 teaspoons.
- Convert 25 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply: 25 x 0.2369 = 5.9225 teaspoons.
- Convert 5 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply: 5 x 0.2369 = 1.1845 teaspoons.
- Convert 30 grams to teaspoons:
- Multiply: 30 x 0.2369 = 7.107 teaspoons.

Conversion Definitions
g: The gram is a metric unit of mass, equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram, used globally to measure weight of small quantities of substances, especially in cooking and science.
Teaspoons: A teaspoon is a small volume measurement, roughly 4.928 milliliters, used mainly in cooking to measure small amounts of ingredients like spices, liquids, or powders.
Conversion FAQs
Can I use this conversion for all substances?
No, because the density of substances varies, so grams do not always directly convert to teaspoons. The conversion provided assumes water-like density; for other ingredients, the actual volume may differ.
Is the 0.2369 factor accurate for cooking ingredients?
It’s an approximation based on water’s density. For ingredients with significantly different densities, the actual teaspoon measure may differ slightly, so adjustments might be needed for precise recipes.
How precise is the conversion from grams to teaspoons?
The conversion provides an estimate, sufficient for most cooking needs. For exact science or baking, weigh ingredients using a scale rather than relying solely on volume conversions.
Can I convert other weights to teaspoons using this formula?
Yes, by multiplying the weight in grams by 0.2369, you can find the approximate teaspoons for any weight, provided the ingredient has a similar density to water.
Why does the conversion factor work for water but not for all ingredients?
Because ingredients have different densities, the weight-to-volume relationship varies. The factor is accurate for water-like substances but less so for powders or oils with different densities.
