How Much Is 4.95 Grams of Mayonnaise in Teaspoons?
4.95 grams of mayonnaise equals 1.08 tsp. Mayonnaise has a density of 220g 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 4.95 grams of mayonnaise
- 1 cup of mayonnaise = 220g
- 4.95g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.02 cups × 48 = 1.08 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mayonnaise should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not scoop directly from the jar, which traps air.

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.
