How Much Is 1.71 Grams of Buttermilk in Teaspoons?
1.71 grams of buttermilk equals 0.34 tsp. Buttermilk has a density of 245g per cup. Because grams measure weight and teaspoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.71 grams of buttermilk
- 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
- 1.71g ÷ 245g/cup = 0.0070 cups × 48 = 0.34 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
