How to use it
- Enter amount, measure, 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
grams = number of spoons × weight per spoon. In the source: 1 tsp = 2.3 g, 1 tbsp = 6.8 g. 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: Amount = 2, Measure = Teaspoon, Measuring spoons = US spoons (as in the source). Result: Weight in grams: 4.6 g; Grams per teaspoon used: 2.3 g.
Limits and caveats
- Figures are for a spoon leveled with a knife; a heaped spoon weighs clearly more.
- Grind, moisture and brand change the weight, so if you weigh your own spoon once, enter it in the optional box.
Questions about this tool
How many grams are in a teaspoon of paprika?
2.3 g in a level teaspoon per USDA, and 6.8 g in a tablespoon.
Does smoked or hot paprika weigh the same?
USDA lists paprika without naming a type. Smoked and hot kinds are usually close, but grind changes the weight, so weigh your spoon to be exact.
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.
