How Much Is 24 Grams of Egg Yolks in Teaspoons?
24 grams of egg yolks equals 4.55 tsp. Egg yolks has a density of 253g 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 24 grams of egg yolks
- 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
- 24g ÷ 253g/cup = 0.09 cups × 48 = 4.55 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
A whole large egg without shell weighs about 50g. When separating eggs for a recipe, weigh the whites and yolks individually for the most accurate results.

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?
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.
