How Much Is 680 Grams of Raisins in Teaspoons?
680 grams of raisins equals 225.10 tsp. Raisins has a density of 145g 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 680 grams of raisins
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 680g ÷ 145g/cup = 4.69 cups × 48 = 225.10 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Dried fruit weights vary with moisture content. Freshly opened packages weigh more than fruit that has been exposed to air and dried further.

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.
