Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 144g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 10 grams of sesame seeds
  2. 1 cup of sesame seeds = 144g
  3. 10g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.07 cups × 48 = 3.33 teaspoons

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

Measuring Tip

Sesame seeds are small and pack tightly. Pour them into the measuring spoon and level off without shaking, which settles the seeds and increases the weight.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

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 3.33 tsp, based on sesame seeds having a density of 144g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 144 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 10 grams: 10 ÷ 144 = 0.07 cups × 48 = 3.33 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh sesame seeds 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: 3.33 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.0694444 cups, then 0.0694444 × 144g/cup = 10g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
