Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 499.98 grams of tomato paste
- 1 cup of tomato paste = 262g
- 499.98g ÷ 262g/cup = 1.91 cups × 48 = 91.60 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

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.
