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.
