How Much Is 243 Grams of Brown Sugar in Teaspoons?
Converting 243 grams of brown sugar to teaspoons gives 53.02 tsp. Divide by the density of brown sugar (220g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 243 grams of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 243g ÷ 220g/cup = 1.10 cups × 48 = 53.02 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Light and dark brown sugar have the same density per cup (220g). The difference is molasses content, which affects flavor but not weight.

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.
