How Much Is 1 Gram of Dried Cranberries in Teaspoons?
1 gram of dried cranberries equals 0.40 tsp. Dried cranberries has a density of 120g 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 gram of dried cranberries
- 1 cup of dried cranberries = 120g
- 1g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.0083 cups × 48 = 0.40 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chopping dried fruit before measuring gives a denser pack and higher weight per cup than whole pieces. Match the form your recipe specifies.

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.
