Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh active dry yeast rather than relying on volume.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 gram of active dry yeast is 0.33 tsp. The conversion depends on the density of active dry yeast and scales proportionally for any amount.

Close, but not exactly. The grams to teaspoons conversion for active dry yeast may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of active dry yeast fills a different number of teaspoons than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
