Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh chia seeds on a kitchen scale. Small seeds are easy to over-measure by volume.
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 teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.

Close, but not exactly. The grams to teaspoons conversion for chia seeds 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 chia seeds 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.
