How Much Is 240 Teaspoons of All-Purpose Flour in Grams?
240 teaspoons of all-purpose flour weighs 625.80 g. This is based on all-purpose flour having a density of 125.16g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 240 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 240 teaspoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of all-purpose flour = 2.61g
- 240 × 2.61 = 625.8g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects all-purpose flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
