Why grams to teaspoons isn't a simple ratio

Grams measure mass while teaspoons measure volume, so the conversion depends on ingredient density. Sugar, salt, flour, and honey all have different weights per teaspoon — this tool uses accurate constants for each.

This grams to teaspoons converter uses ingredient-specific density constants to give accurate results for sugar, salt, flour, butter, honey, and water. Unlike generic converters, it accounts for the fact that a teaspoon of salt weighs more than a teaspoon of flour. Enter multiple gram values at once for bulk recipe conversions. All calculations run locally in your browser — no data is uploaded.

Ingredient-accurate

Uses real density constants for each ingredient, not a one-size-fits-all ratio.

  • Sugar, salt, flour densities
  • Butter, honey, water supported
  • Accurate to 2 decimal places
Bulk conversion

Paste as many gram values as you need — one per line — and convert them all at once.

  • One value or dozens
  • Results in matching order
  • Skips blank lines cleanly

Conversion tips

Get the most accurate results by matching your ingredient to the dropdown.

  • Always select the correct ingredient — using sugar's density for salt will give wrong results.
  • For packed or sifted flour, note that density can vary slightly from the standard constant used here.
  • Enter values one per line with no units — typing '50g' instead of '50' will cause a per-line error.

Frequently asked questions

Why do different ingredients give different teaspoon results for the same gram amount?>
Because teaspoons measure volume, not mass. Denser ingredients like salt pack more grams into one teaspoon than lighter ingredients like flour. This tool uses a specific grams-per-teaspoon constant for each ingredient so your result reflects real-world measurements.
How many grams are in a teaspoon of sugar vs. a teaspoon of salt?>
One teaspoon of granulated sugar weighs approximately 4.2 grams, while one teaspoon of table salt weighs about 5.9 grams. This tool uses those exact constants for its conversions.
Can I convert grams of honey or butter to teaspoons with this tool?>
Yes. Select Honey (7.05 g/tsp) or Butter (4.7 g/tsp) from the ingredient dropdown before entering your gram values and the tool will apply the correct density for each.
What happens if I enter a non-numeric value in the input?>
The tool shows a per-line error note for that entry rather than crashing. All other valid numeric lines in your input are still converted normally.
