How Much Is 200 Grams of Egg Yolks in Teaspoons?
200 grams of egg yolks equals 37.94 tsp. Egg yolks has a density of 253g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 200 grams of egg yolks
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 200g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.79 cups × 48 = 37.94 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
