How Much Is 60 Grams of Parmesan (Finely Grated) in Teaspoons?
60 grams of parmesan (finely grated) equals 36.00 tsp. Parmesan (finely grated) has a density of 80g 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 60 grams of parmesan (finely grated)
- 1 cup of parmesan (finely grated) = 80g
- 60g ÷ 80g/cup = 0.75 cups × 48 = 36.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Always shred or grate cheese before measuring by volume. A cup of block cheese weighs much more than a cup of shredded.

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?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
