How to use it
- Enter weight, measuring spoons and your own weighed teaspoon in grams (optional).
- The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
- Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.
How it is calculated
teaspoons = grams ÷ 4 g and tablespoons = grams ÷ 12 g, from the source: 1 tsp = 4 g, 1 tbsp = 12 g. The spoon measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon. For metric spoons the weight is multiplied by the volume ratio: 5 ÷ 4.929 for a teaspoon and 15 ÷ 14.787 for a tablespoon, about 1.4% more.
Example
Inputs: Weight = 10 g, Measuring spoons = US spoons (as in the source). Result: Teaspoons: 2.5; Tablespoons: 0.83; As a spoon measure: 2 1/2 tsp.
Limits and caveats
- The spoon measure is rounded to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon; the decimal count is more exact.
- It assumes active dry yeast at 4 g per teaspoon; instant yeast can differ a little per spoon.
Questions about this tool
How many teaspoons is 10 g of dry yeast?
About 2.5 teaspoons, since USDA lists a teaspoon at 4 g.
How many teaspoons are in a 7 g yeast packet?
1.75 teaspoons, so one and three quarter teaspoons.
Does it change with metric measuring spoons?
Slightly. The figures are for US spoons (4.93 mL and 14.79 mL); metric spoons of 5 mL and 15 mL hold about 1.4% more, so pick "Metric spoons" to adjust.
