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?
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
1 gram of coconut milk is 0.21 tsp. The conversion depends on the density of coconut milk and scales proportionally for any amount.
If you have a kitchen scale, weighing coconut milk 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.
Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The grams to teaspoons result for coconut milk should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.
The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of coconut milk 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.
