Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 245g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 156.8 grams of tomato sauce
  2. 1 cup of tomato sauce = 245g
  3. 156.8g ÷ 245g/cup = 0.64 cups × 48 = 30.72 teaspoons

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 30.72 tsp, based on tomato sauce having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 245 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 156.8 grams: 156.8 ÷ 245 = 0.64 cups × 48 = 30.72 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh tomato sauce on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring spoon on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of tomato sauce changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 30.72 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.64 cups, then 0.64 × 245g/cup = 156.8g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
