Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 120g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 40 grams of dried cranberries
  2. 1 cup of dried cranberries = 120g
  3. 40g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.33 cups × 48 = 16.00 teaspoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

To prevent dried fruit from sinking in batter, toss it with a tablespoon of flour before folding in. This does not affect the weight measurement.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 16.00 tsp, based on dried cranberries having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 120 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 40 grams: 40 ÷ 120 = 0.33 cups × 48 = 16.00 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh dried cranberries on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, fill the measuring spoon loosely and level off without pressing down. Whole and chopped pieces give different weights per measuring spoon.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 16.00 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.333333 cups, then 0.333333 × 120g/cup = 40g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
