Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 200g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 173 grams of pearl barley
  2. 1 cup of pearl barley = 200g
  3. 173g ÷ 200g/cup = 0.87 cups × 48 = 41.52 teaspoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 41.52 tsp, based on pearl barley having a density of 200g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 200 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 173 grams: 173 ÷ 200 = 0.87 cups × 48 = 41.52 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh pearl barley on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 41.52 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.865 cups, then 0.865 × 200g/cup = 173g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
