How Much Is 850 Grams of Cornmeal in Teaspoons?
850 grams of cornmeal equals 272.00 tsp. Cornmeal has a density of 150g 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 850 grams of cornmeal
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 850g ÷ 150g/cup = 5.67 cups × 48 = 272.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
