Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
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.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing buttermilk gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Very close. Pure liquid densities are consistent across brands, so the grams to teaspoons conversion for buttermilk typically varies by less than 2-3%.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of buttermilk 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.
