How Much Is 6.09 Teaspoons of All-Purpose Flour in Grams?
6.09 teaspoons of all-purpose flour weighs 15.88 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 6.09 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 6.09 teaspoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of all-purpose flour = 2.61g
- 6.09 × 2.61 = 15.88g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
