How Much Is 60 Grams of Granulated Sugar in Teaspoons?
Converting 60 grams of granulated sugar to teaspoons gives 14.40 tsp. Divide by the density of granulated sugar (200g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 60 grams of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of granulated sugar = 200g
- 60g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.3 cups × 48 = 14.40 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

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 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.
