Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 79.97 g, based on butter having a density of 227g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 4.73 (grams per teaspoon for butter). For 16.91 teaspoons: 16.91 × 4.73 = 79.97 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh butter on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 79.97 g ÷ 4.73 = 16.91 teaspoons. Or use the Grams to Teaspoons converter.
