How Much Is 1.2 Grams of Walnuts in Teaspoons?
1.2 grams of walnuts equals 0.48 tsp. Walnuts has a density of 120g 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 1.2 grams of walnuts
- 1 cup of walnuts = 120g
- 1.2g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.01 cups × 48 = 0.48 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

For the most consistent results, weigh walnuts on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements of nuts vary depending on size, shape, and how tightly they pack.
