How Much Is 1.5 Teaspoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
1.5 teaspoons of coconut sugar equals 5.63 g. Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup (3.75g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.5 teaspoons of honey would be 10.63 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 teaspoons of coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar = 3.75g
- 1.5 × 3.75 = 5.63g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

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.
