How Much Is 18.67 Grams of Nutmeg in Teaspoons?
18.67 grams of nutmeg equals 8.00 tsp. Nutmeg has a density of 112g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 18.67 grams of nutmeg
- 1 cup of nutmeg = 112g
- 18.67g ÷ 112g/cup = 0.17 cups × 48 = 8.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most accurate results, weigh nutmeg on a kitchen scale. At small quantities, even slight over-measuring can overpower a dish.

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 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.
