How Much Is 80 Grams of Cheddar Cheese (Shredded) in Teaspoons?
80 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded) equals 33.98 tsp. Cheddar cheese (shredded) has a density of 113g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 80 grams of cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded) = 113g
- 80g ÷ 113g/cup = 0.71 cups × 48 = 33.98 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cheese density varies by type. Hard cheeses like Parmesan weigh more per cup than soft cheeses like mozzarella.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
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.
